Kamala Harris' latest Arizona visit is a campaign record. Here's why
For the third straight presidential election cycle, Arizona is setting a record for campaign stops by the major-party candidates.
Vice President Kamala Harris' Friday visit to Douglas will be the 17th such trip to Arizona for a member of the White House ticket since the start of 2023 and reflects the state’s battleground status.
An Arizona Republic review of presidential visits shows the state had 33 total visits over six election cycles from 1992 through 2012. From 2016 to now, it has already had 45. The Republic only counted visits in the year of or year before a presidential election.
Former President Donald Trump won the state in 2016 by fewer than 4 percentage points, a historically low margin for a Republican. Four years later, President Joe Biden won the state by about 0.3 percentage points. His margin of less than 11,000 votes was the closest of any state Biden won.
