(NewsNation) — Presidential candidates are hitting the 2024 campaign trail ahead of the November election.
The campaign season so far has been atypical. Former President Donald Trump suffered a graze wound to his ear during a July 13 assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where one attendee died and at least two others were injured. About a week later, President Joe Biden announced he no longer planned to accept the Democratic nomination and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the job. Harris then chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate.
The July 21 announcement came after weeks of Democratic calls for Biden, 81, to step aside, citing concerns about his mental acuity.
Meanwhile, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has not campaigned much in recent weeks, and Friday announced he was ending his campaign.
Here’s a look at the campaign events candidates are having today.
Trump visits Nevada, Arizona
The former president will hold a rally in Las Vegas at 2 p.m. PT before heading back to Arizona, where Trump spent Thursday touring part of the southern border. He then held a rally in Glendale at 7 p.m. ET. You can watch both events on NewsNation’s site and app.
He was joined by special guest, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Kennedy suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump at an event in Phoenix at 2 p.m. ET.
On Thursday, Trump told NewsNation he is not aware of Kennedy’s plans but would consider the endorsement a “great honor” if it happens. You can watch the event live here.
Kennedy was also scheduled to address a crowd in Atlanta and take part in a virtual event, both about the state of Black Americans, but it’s unclear if those are still happening.
Harris returns from DNC
The vice president will return to Washington after spending the week in the Midwest for the Democratic National Convention. She delivered her nomination acceptance speech in Chicago on Thursday and does not have any campaign events scheduled for Friday.
