The Harris-Walz campaign will livestream both events, in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, to create a single show that features events in seven swing states, according to the press advisory. The swing states, including Pennsylvania, are key to securing the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House.

Pennsylvania is widely considered a critical swing state which could help determine the outcome of the general election. In the last two presidential elections, the winner of Pennsylvania's 19 electoral college votes was decided by less than 1.5%.

Those votes have Harris and Trump, and their surrogates, keyed in on the commonwealth with less than 24 hours till the polls open. Some 1.7 million Pennsylvania voters have already turned in their mail in ballots, including 124,143 voters (as of Monday morning) in Bucks County, an important district that is near evently split in voter registration. Some 151,487 mail-in ballots were requested in Bucks County, officials said.
