US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez set to rally for Harris-Walz campaign in State College
With less than 20 days until Election Day, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is set to campaign Friday in State College to support the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz ticket as part of the “Students for Harris-Walz” coalition.
Ocasio-Cortez, an outspoken Democrat who represents New York’s 14th district, is aiming to “fire up young voters” while underscoring the importance of this year’s election — including issues such as abortion and gun violence, according to the Harris-Walz campaign.
On Thursday evening, the online event created by the Pennsylvania Democratic Party was updated to include the time and location of the event: 5-7 p.m. Friday at The State Theatre, 130 W. College Ave., State College.
AOC’s visit will come a day after a scheduled on-campus appearance by former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, who is speaking as part of Turning Point USA’s Penn State chapter.
Ocasio-Cortez comes to Penn State a month after rallying young voters at a similar university-focused event at Carnegie Mellon.
