ETTRICK, Va. — Virginia State University has addressed the rumor that Vice President Kamala Harris would be on campus this weekend for her presidential campaign’s HBCU Homecoming Tour.
“Virginia State University is aware of a post circulating on social media regarding a visit from Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris and Vice-Presidential Candidate Tim Walz to the VSU campus as part of an HBCU Homecoming Tour,” a Virginia State spokesperson said in a social media post. “This information has understandably created an increased level of excitement around our homecoming. However. we do understand that VP Harris cannot attend every homecoming, many of which are scheduled on the same day. Please note that the post indicates that her ‘campaign’ will be visiting the campus, Virginia State University has not yet received an official indication that VP Harris or Governor Walz will personally be a part of the VSU campus visit.”
VSU was initially announced as the site of a planned debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, but that debate was canceled and never rescheduled once Biden dropped out of the race earlier this year.
