What we know
The Democratic vice presidential nominee is set to meet with local labor leaders on the tarmac of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport before traveling to Wisconsin with his wife, Gwen Walz, for a campaign event.
"As a former union member, I know firsthand how the labor movement has changed our state for the better. When working families are strong, Minnesota is strong. Happy Labor Day, Minnesota!" Walz posted on X.

After landing in Wisconsin, Gov. Walz is set to deliver remarks at the Milwaukee Area Labor Council’s Laborfest 2024 around 2 p.m.
Campaign officials say the governor will highlight the Harris-Walz ticket’s track record of delivering for unions and draw a contrast with former president Donald Trump and JD Vance’s Project 2025 agenda, which they say will "undermine unions and hike taxes on families by nearly $4,000 per year."
