Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz will stop in Denver for a fundraiser this week, the Harris-Walz campaign announced Monday morning.
Walz will speak at a campaign reception Wednesday before traveling to Boston for another event that day. A campaign official declined to provide details about the Denver event.
The Minnesota governor, who was selected last week by Vice President Kamala Harris to be her running mate in the presidential race, will run through five states in three days this week during his first campaign fundraising spree. In the first 24 hours after Walz joined the ticket last week, the campaign said it raised $36 million.
His brief visit to Denver will come a few days after former President Donald Trump was in Aspen for a high-dollar fundraiser with wealthy Republican donors.
In a Sunday social media post in which he also assailed mail-in voting in Colorado and falsely claimed Gov. Jared Polis instituted it, Trump wrote that his fundraising trip to three Mountain West states raised $28 million.
