PROVINCETOWN, MASS. (WHDH) – Vice President Kamala Harris will visit Provincetown for a fundraising event Saturday, making her way to Cape Cod while questions continue to swirl around President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign.
Harris is scheduled to appear at the Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum.
While confirming her fundraising plans, officials did not share any additional details about when the fundraiser will begin and end.
Saturday’s fundraiser will benefit the Biden-Harris Victory Fund. A joint fundraising committee of the Biden-Harris campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and all 50 state Democratic parties, the Victory Fund is raising money through ticket sales for the Provincetown Harris event.
Sources told 7NEWS the event is expected to draw 800 attendees, with high profile Democrats expected to be part of the crowd. Harris’ presence is also prompting heightened security as Secret Service personnel come to Massachusetts for the first time since last Saturday’s assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
7NEWS law enforcement and security expert Todd McGhee spoke about the preparations on Tuesday, saying he expects the Provincetown fundraiser to go off without any interruptions.
A Massachusetts State police spokesperson said troopers will assist the Secret Service to protect Harris but officials did not disclose any specific details about their plans.
State Sen. Julian Cyr said he plans to attend Harris’ event and told 7NEWS the area is ready to welcome the vice president.
Exactly one week after a would-be assassin opened fire at Trump, killing one person, badly injuring two others, and grazing Trump himself, Harris is visiting Massachusetts during a tense moment in the presidential campaign.
Trump and his newly-picked running mate, JD Vance, will be in Michigan for a campaign rally Saturday.
