Gwen Walz, the wife of Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, will make a second campaign stop in Maine next week.

Walz will visit the state Tuesday on behalf of her husband and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Harris-Walz campaign said.

She is expected to talk about the difference between the Democrats’ campaign and that of Republican Donald Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance.

In September, Gwen Walz campaigned at a bookstore and campaign office in Bangor before headlining a rally at Thompson’s Point in Portland.

A spokesperson for the Harris-Walz campaign in Maine said she could not provide information Wednesday on the location where Walz will be appearing.

Neither Harris nor Trump has visited Maine yet this election cycle, and it remains to be seen if either will. The candidates have mostly spent their time in larger swing states with more electoral votes, such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan.

Maine is one of two states that splits its electoral votes and the 2nd Congressional District, covering much of central and northern Maine, has come to be seen as somewhat of a swing district as rural areas across the country have shifted to Republican support.

Trump won one electoral vote from Maine in both 2016 and 2020 after winning in the 2nd District, though Democrats carried the state overall both years, winning the state’s other three electoral votes.

A September poll from Portland-based Pan Atlantic Research showed Harris leading Trump by nine percentage points, or 50% to 41% statewide. Harris had a 26 percentage point lead over Trump in the 1st Congressional District, but the poll found Trump leading Harris 49% to 42% in the 2nd District.

The poll surveyed 812 Maine residents of voting age between Sept. 5 and Sept 15 and had a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.

In Portland last month, Walz highlighted gun safety and reproductive rights as key issues for the Harris campaign. The campaign also has linked Trump to Project 2025, a set of policy proposals for a new Republican administration published by the conservative Heritage Foundation.

Trump has tried to distance himself from its agenda, though critics have pointed to the involvement of his allies as evidence that the plan shows what a second Trump administration could look like.
