CLEVELAND, Ohio-The Joe Biden campaign announced Thursday that vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris' scheduled campaign visit to Cleveland on Friday has been cancelled, Harris the only Black female U.S. senator and the only Black woman to seek the 2020 Democratic nomination for president.
Two of Harris' staff members have purportedly contracted the coronavirus, though neither Harris nor Biden, the Democratic nominee who will face incumbent President Donald Trump for the November election, has come down with the virus.
The since cancelled visit had just been announced Wednesday by the Biden campaign, a last minute announcement with no specifics.
Had Harris visited Cleveland Friday as originally planned, her visit would have occurred a day before Women's March Cleveland's Oct. 17 rally and march, which will begin at 1pm outside of the Harvard Community Services Center on the city's east side, an event designed to address racial injustices and women's rights, and one of several marches that day across the country spearheaded by Women's March National, including a march in Washington, D.C.

Cleveland is a largely Black major American city that sits in Cuyahoga County, the state's second largest county, and a Democratic stronghold.
The county is roughly 29 percent Black.
Harris is the first woman of color to compete on a major party presidential ticket in America, and pundits say she is a welcome addition to Biden's presidential ticket.
A former vice president under former president Barack Obama, the nation's first Black president, Biden leads President Donald Trump in the polls nationally, and practically all of the swing states.
But the two candidates are neck and neck in Ohio as the Nov 3 presidential election nears and early voting gets underway, Ohio a pivotal state for presidential elections.
A former California attorney general, Harris is native of Oakland who was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2016.
She became the fourth woman to compete on a major party presidential ticket in America behind vice presidential candidates Sarah Palin in 2008 and Geraldine Ferraro in 1984, and Hillary Clinton in 2016, Clinton a presidential candidate that year.
