Arizona is expected to be one of the most competitive states in this year's presidential election. In 2020, President Joe Biden defeated former President Donald Trump in Arizona by a margin of less than 0.5%, or around 10,000 votes.
Some of Arizona’s top Democrats will attend the rally, including state Attorney General Kris Mayes and Reps. Greg Stanton and Ruben Gallego.
Kelly and Arizona Democratic Party chair Yolanda Bejarano also are expected to attend. Gov. Katie Hobbs, meanwhile, will not be there.
Both Hobbs and Mayes skipped Harris' visit to Arizona in March, before she became the Democrats' presumptive presidential nominee, citing scheduling conflicts.
RSVPs for the event have reached capacity, according to an invitation sent by the campaign.
Harris and Walz are scheduled to arrive at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on Thursday evening, after campaigning in Michigan. Mayes, Stanton, Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, and Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego will greet them on the tarmac.
