Vice President Kamala Harris embarks on her first campaign rally in Milwaukee, a critical battleground state, following President Biden’s decision to drop his reelection bid and throw his support behind her. Her visit comes amid growing support from Democratic officials, political groups, and over $100 million in donations since the campaign launch. Harris aims to unite the Democratic Party and project confidence as she prepares to challenge former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
Harris outlined her campaign themes, contrasting her record as a prosecutor with Trump’s, and emphasizing her commitment to economic opportunity and reproductive rights. She expressed gratitude for the backing of President Biden and the Democratic Party, as she gears up to take her case directly to the American people.
While Harris has secured enough delegates to potentially win the nomination, the AP is refraining from declaring her as the presumptive nominee, as delegates can still change their votes at the convention in August. Despite this uncertainty, Harris is focusing on building momentum and engaging voters in key swing states like Wisconsin, as part of the Democrats’ essential “blue wall” strategy for 2024.
The campaign is gaining momentum as Harris positions herself as a strong contender against Trump, pledging to uphold democratic values, reproductive rights, and economic opportunities for all Americans. With the election approaching, Harris is determined to rally support and present a clear alternative to Trump’s vision for the country.
