VP Motorcade Closures: Kamala Harris In Town For Rush Hour

LOS ANGELES, CA — Vice President Kamala Harris is in town this weekend, and her trip from Los Angeles International Airport to her Brentwood home is likely to bring rush hour traffic to a halt Friday evening.

Westside motorists are being warned to expect delays. Harris headed to the airport in the early afternoon to fly down to Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego County for a fundraiser. She is expected to return to LAX at about 6 p.m. Harris is traditionally driven between her home in Brentwood and the airport in a motorcade along the San Diego (405) Freeway, prompting one-way full closures of the roadway.

It's not clear how long the vice president will stay in Southern California nor what public events she has planned.

Her husband Doug Emhoff is also in Los Angeles and is scheduled to speak at a campaign event at 5:30 p.m. in Los Angeles, NBC Los Angeles reported, but the details of the event have not been made public.

Harris is scheduled to apear on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, June 4, Deadline reported. The ABC Show is filmed in Hollywood.

On Thursday, Harris spoke at a graduation ceremony at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado, then flew to Los Angeles, where she has at home in the Brentwood area.

In her remarks at the Air Force Academy Thursday, Harris noted the approaching 80th anniversary of D-Day, which she called a "shining moment of Allied bravery and sacrifice made possible because of America's air power."

"In the months leading up to the landings, it was our pilots, our planes, and our air crews that knocked the enemy from the sky," Harris said. "It was America's forces in the air that bombed train tracks and fuel depots to prevent Nazi reinforcements from reaching the frontlines and helped defeat tyranny and fascism in Europe.

"Eighty years ago, over the beaches of Normandy, America won control of the skies, and we have kept it ever since."
