NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff will be visiting Hampton Roads for Labor Day.
The Harris-Walz campaign confirms Emhoff will attend an event in Newport News, although no specifics have been given at this time.
Vice President Kamala Harris will not join her husband in Virginia. Instead, she plans to go to Detroit for a campaign stop and then will head to Pittsburgh for a joint appearance with President Joe Biden. It will be their first joint campaign event since Harris became the Democratic nominee for president.
While details on Emhoff's Newport News stop have not been released yet, Congressman Bobby Scott (D, VA-03) has meanwhile announced plans for his annual Labor Day Cookout which he said will host several "special guests" and elected officials, including U.S. Senator Tim Kaine.
Scott has held the cookout almost every year 1977, when he was running for House of Delegates. The annual event has become for Virginia Democrats the unofficial start for the final stretch of political campaigns ahead of the November election.
The cookout will be held Monday, Sept. 2 from 3 to 6 p.m. at 914 Shore Drive in Newport News.
The event is open to the public and Scott has said, "It promises to be a fun-filled afternoon with food, conversation, and live entertainment."
