With less than two weeks until Election Day, Harris and Trump are coming to Texas

With less than two weeks until Election Day, Harris and Trump are coming to Texas

With Election Day less than two weeks away, both presidential candidates will stop in Texas on Friday.

Former President Donald Trump will hold the first event of the day with a news conference at a private jet terminal in East Austin at 12:30 p.m. Following his departure, he is expected to appear on Joe Rogan’s popular podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience.

The podcaster announced earlier this week on social media that he would interview Trump in his studio in Austin. Accordingly Austin MonthlyRogan’s studio is in a house on the shores of Lake Austin.

The city of Austin said Thursday it expects all lanes of SH 71 to be closed between US 183 and Woodward Street. Additionally, all lanes of US 183 will be closed between SH 71 and Burleson Road. Local officials also said people traveling to the airport in the afternoon should expect traffic delays.

Vice President Kamala Harris will be in Houston for a campaign rally on Friday from 3 to 8 p.m. That’s according to the National Democratic Party, which boasts that guitarist Willie Nelson will be in attendance along with Tina Knowles, BeyoncĂ©’s mother. According to some reports, BeyoncĂ© herself will appear alongside the Democratic presidential candidate, but no public announcement has been made.

Democratic Congressman Colin Allred, who is running against Ted Cruz for the U.S. Senate, will also join Harris.

Current polls show Trump expected to win Texas by five points, similar to 2020. Nationally, however, polls show Harris and Trump in a very close race.
