The claim that Karl Rove campaigned for Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania in October 2024 is false. The video in question actually shows Rove speaking at an event in California in February, not in Pennsylvania in October. Rove has criticized both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in the past, and he explicitly stated that he has not been campaigning for Harris in any state. Rove has a history of being critical of Trump, describing his performance as “graceless and divisive.” Additionally, Rove has expressed that Harris is “not a great candidate” and is facing a lack of enthusiasm among Black and Latino voters. USA TODAY, AFP, and Lead Stories have all debunked the claim that Rove was rallying support for Harris in Pennsylvania. Various false assertions surrounding the Harris campaign have also been debunked by fact-checkers, including claims related to Mike Pence, Democratic actors in Harris ads, and Tim Walz. Users who shared the post claiming Rove supported Harris were reached out to for comment, but no responses were received. Overall, the claim that Rove campaigned for Harris in Pennsylvania is inaccurate, as confirmed by multiple fact-check sources.
