Harris and Walz Plan Rally During Convention

August 13, 2024 at 5:10 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota are planning to hold a rally next Tuesday in Milwaukee, making an appearance in the key battleground state of Wisconsin as Democrats gather for their national convention in nearby Chicago,” the New York Times reports.

“The Harris campaign is in talks to hold its event at Fiserv Forum, the arena where former President Donald Trump accepted the Republican presidential nomination last month, though an agreement on the venue has not yet been formalized.”

“The Harris-Walz rally in Milwaukee would be the latest visit on a tour in which the candidates spoke to crowds of over 10,000 people at five stops in battleground states last week.”
