Harris and Walz make small-town stops and campaign phone calls on Pennsylvania bus tour before DNC
Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, are campaigning by bus in southwestern Pennsylvania before heading to Chicago for their party’s political convention. ROCHESTER, Pa. (AP) — Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz gave pep talks to campaign volunteers and a high school football team Sunday, with their bus tour in a corner of Pennsylvania serving as a modest, small-town version of the grand rally she’s expected to have at the Democratic nominating convention in Chicago this week. Vice President Harris and Walz, the governor of Minnesota, were joined by their spouses, Doug Emhoff and Gwen Walz, as they stopped off to visit volunteers at a campaign office not far from Pittsburgh before continuing on to a firehouse and a high school in another town. The tour, in a bright blue bus decorated with the candidates’ names and the phrase “A new way forward,” also included pilgrimages to a convenience store and a restaurant known for its towering sandwiches. Despite running as the sitting vice president, Harris told reporters she feels she has ground to make up in the race against former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee.

Walz's China experience draws GOP attacks, but Beijing isn't counting on better ties
WASHINGTON (AP) — Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has a history with China. And Republicans are seizing on it. At 25, Walz taught a year of high school in China. He returned for his honeymoon and many more times with American exchange students. As a congressman, he served on a committee tracking China’s human rights and met figures like the Dalai Lama. Now that Walz is the Democratic vice presidential nominee, Republicans have accused him of a decadeslong relationship with “Communist China” and even opened an investigation. The attacks reflect how, amid a tense U.S.-China relationship, visits once seen as simple cultural interactions have become a target for political opponents. Ultimately, Beijing does not expect U.S. policy to thaw regardless of who is in the White House, experts say. With competition defining Washington’s relationship with Beijing, any interaction with China appears to be “regarded with skepticism, if not outright suspicion,” and it’s become “a well-worn tactic to attack opponents simply for having a China line in their resumes,” said Kyle Jaros, an associate professor of global affairs at the University of Notre Dame.
