Martha’s Vineyard Airport is making preparations for Vice President Kamala Harris’ visit to the Island.
The Vice President is expected to land at the airport sometime this weekend.
Harris is expected to attend a fundraiser this Saturday on Martha’s Vineyard called the “Grassroots Reception with Vice President Kamala Harris.” Funds raised from this event will benefit the Biden Victory Fund. A place and time for Harris’s visit have not been disclosed yet.
During a Martha’s Vineyard Airport Commission meeting on Thursday afternoon, airport director Geoff Freeman said preparations were underway.
Freeman said the airport is hosting several federal agencies and overseeing the logistical movements for equipment to and from the Vineyard, which is being done with the U.S. Air Force’s Air Mobility Command.
“There’s a lot of activity at the airport in regards to the vice president visiting the Island this weekend,” the airport director said.
When commission chair Bob Rosenbaum asked about what seemed like U.S. Air Force aircraft he saw at the airport’s taxilane, Freeman said this was all a part of the logistical equipment movements.
“That’s a part of the logistical events, equipment movement to the Vineyard,” Freeman said. “We have several of them. That was number two of four more this week — waiting on one this afternoon to arrive — so we’ll be hearing and seeing those aircraft over the next several days.”
We are so lucky to have her. When will Trump visit?
Would be nice to know the details TODAY so residents aren’t stuck in traffic and can go about their business without massive interruptions. All of these plans are a dismal failure if the island visitors, businesses and residents are inconvenienced with their own Saturday plans!
Politics are are inconvenient.
The details are not published, security concerns.
By looking at the Island’s 2020 land slide voting record real Islanders are glad she is coming.
Businesses will make money off her appearance.
All Summer People are an inconvenience to businesses.
Extra traffic? It’s August
Inconvenience?
Leave early and bring a book bottle of water and snack. That’s called being prepared.
Not sure if you live on island seasonally or year round but this is what has been happening on Martha’s Vineyard Island for many years.
The amount of tax payer dollars paying for vacations disguised as appearances is obnoxious.
Did you feel the same way about Trump’s weekly jaunts to one of his privately owned golf courses at taxpayers expense?
Jim– Mike will likely tell you that trump never
golfed while he was president.
During his campaign trump repeatedly stated that
he would give up golf while president.
Here is the solid proof that the “dims” are wrong
about trumps alleged golf outings;
If he did in fact play golf, then those statements
from trump about not playing golf would have
meant that he lied. BUT since trump himself,
as well as his supporters KNOW that trump will NEVER lie,
it is impossible that the liberal media and “dims”
are correct that he played golf.
How much more proof do we need that the liberal
media lied about trump playing golf because they
hate America and want to control us?
trump has been out of office for 2 1/2 years–
plenty of time to re write history.
By the way, I heard that if Biden gets re elected,
he’s going to close all the golf courses in the country
( and maybe the world) because they use too much water.
well, Mike , we taxpayers are saving boat loads of money compared to the spending for 45 to play golf. You remember # 45 of course– he’s the guy who repeatedly said that if elected president he would be working constantly for the people and to make America great again. He would just have to give up playing golf, although he loves it.

But I am sure you really had a hard time with that also.
Even today, #45 is personally making millions of dollars by charging the secret service agents well over $395 a night (in 2021).

A truly stable genius.
But back to the realities of running for president.
Despite what one person said here, Joe Biden is actually running for president and Ms. Harris is running for vice president. Presidential candidates have taxpayer funded costs associated with security wherever they go. I have noticed that some people like to criticize Biden because in the last election he was only hiding in his basement and not campaigning. I also noticed that notion got some widespread traction shortly after his opponent actually did hide in the basement of the White House.
Interesting how that happened, don’t cha’ think ?
But, I have to say I agree with you on this one– Presidential candidates should never go on vacation, or fund raise, or have rallies, or play golf. Pretty obnoxious indeed.
And perhaps when they rack up big bills in cities and towns that the local taxpayers are paying, they should reimburse the cities and towns that hosted them.
Guess who doesn’t do that ?

The amount of tax payer dollars paying for golf vacations is obnoxious.
What was it called when jack was the resident and funneling every penny into his businesses, like charging for golf carts for everyone including his parents?
Do not come. Do not come.
Kim, that’s how I feel about conspiracy theorists who spread lies about vaccines, usually under a fake name: Go away, go away.
Harris, please come.
Trump, please come.
Biden, please come.
Trump’s unknown running mate , please come.
Jack Smith, please come.
Senator Tuberville, please come.
Bernie Sanders, please come.
Really, Do Not Come ~~ Send the wasted money for her trip and the other $13 billion$ more being sent to the Ukraine as we speak to Hawaii and or to our Border!
Our people and our country is in deep trouble.
It seems like the Dems & Libs are just having a blast destroying us!
We are reminded every day, almost hourly that “Elections Have Deadly Conquences”!
Woody, we could just throw a couple rolls of paper towels at the people of Hawaii.
so Woody– are you blaming Biden for the fires in Hawaii ?
You are a military guy — I think you have mentioned that you served
somewhere at sometime, I’m not sure where.
But it was in some other country defending democracy
because some leader somewhere invaded some country
somewhere. So now it seems, that since you don’t like
Biden, we should just abandon Ukraine and let a tyrannical
dictator slaughter the citizens of a sovereign democratic country
and let it be overrun by a communist dictator.
What is it that you are so proud of having defended ?
We intervened in WW2 because genocidal Nazi’s invaded Europe
and because the Japanese bombed our military base so they
could invade Asian countries
We intervened in Korea because communist invaded that
country
We intervened in Vietnam because communist were overrunning
the country
We intervened in Kuwait because a tyrannical dictator invaded it.
We intervened in Afghanistan because they supported radical
religiously motivated terrorist that attacked our country.
We intervened in Iraq for I don’t have any idea why.
And now, after all that sacrifice of lives and treasure to insure
that communist and /or ruthless dictators don’t run the world,
You, of all people don’t want to spend mere money to help a country
defend itself against a ruthless communist dictator?
Come on Woody–
The fight to keep people free to live their lives the way they want
is not over. A few of your tax dollars are nothing compared to the
millions who gave their lives to defend that freedom.
I am quite surprised that your dislike of Biden would blind
you to the realities of a dangerous world.
By the way– My Daughter lives on Maui with her husband
and my 2 grandchildren. They are fine,
But If you are so worried about Maui, please send donations to

Mr. Putin tear down the wall between Russia and Ukraine.
“Our people and our country is in deep trouble.”
Have you seen the stock market?
The increase in wage growth?
Number employed?
“Elections Have Deadly Conquences”!
All of those you mentioned threatened us or our good allies but the Ukraine one does not. Ukraine used to belong to the Soviet Union and Ukraine wants to join NATO which is pointing its guns at Russia and Putin and is right next door. Besides Zelensky is a dictator also and has closed down opposition parties. Yes Putin is a thug but if we keep doing this he will drop a nuclear bomb on Ukraine out of frustration. By the way we intervened in Iraq because Saddam shot missiles at Israel. Do your research please.
He probably doesn’t know that Hawaii is in the United States.
Let’s NOT FORGET former resident who has massive U.S. Cities Still Waiting for Trump Campaign to Pay Nearly $2M in Police, Public Safety Bills, but they have no problem with him lining his pockets with taxpayer money.
Bhaaa Bhaaa 🐑
Ukraine used to belong to the Soviet Union. Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California used to belong to Mexico. And?
NATO was formed to point it’s guns at Russia.
Yes Putin is a thug but if we keep doing this he will drop a nuclear bomb on Ukraine out of frustration.
We must capitulate, like we did with Hitler.
By the way we intervened in Iraq because Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, remember?
We invaded Afghanistan because the Saudi’s took down the World Trade Center.
Do your research please.
andy– so you are a scared puppy that is afraid to stand
up to tyranny and genocide ?
Since Taiwan used to be part of China we should stand
back and let China invade Taiwan?
Texas used to belong to Mexico. I would actually
support Mexico if they invaded Texas to reclaim their
land. Would you ?
And by the way, you might be able to rewrite history
in your mind, but all those WMD’s were never found.
Israel shot as many missiles into Iraq as Iraq shot into
Israel.
Do you research , please.
Bush did not invade Iraq because it was shooting missiles
into Israel. Give us a break—
Let me see if I have this right, if a thug threatens us we should cave?
No truth, justice or the American way of life?
How sad.
