Former President Donald Trump is also campaigning in Texas on Friday. He has visits planned in Austin.
It's not unusual for presidential candidates to stop in Texas, but it is rare for both candidates to make appearances so close to Election Day.
Texas isn't considered a battleground state, which is what makes these visits particularly interesting.
Typically, you would see this type of last-minute of campaigning in swing states like Pennsylvania or Arizona.
Harris will be in Houston on Friday, but her campaign has not publically announced where or when the rally will be held. Supporters who signed up for tickets were sent emails stating the rally will be held at the Houston Dynamo's Shell Energy Stadium. Doors open at 3 p.m.
Houstonians should be prepared for road closures and traffic in downtown Houston. Security is expected to be on high alert, so you may notice an increased police presence.
Harris will be joined by Democratic candidate for senate, Collin Allred.
In Austin, Trump will be campaigning with Allred's opponent, Senator Ted Cruz, according to local reports.

Trump will also sit for an interview on the popular podcast "The Joe Rogan Experience."
As for previous last-minute presidential campaigning in Texas, George W. Bush visited Dallas the night before the 2004 election and Bill Clinton visited the Lone Star State just six days before the 1992 election.
Election Day 2024 is on Nov. 5. Early voting is already underway in Texas and ends on Nov. 1.
