Several cars in a motorcade carrying Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz crashed while heading to a campaign stop in Milwaukee. President Biden and Vice President Harris both spoke with Walz after the crash to ensure he was uninjured. The crash involved cars at the back of the motorcade, while Walz was closer to the front and unharmed. The cause of the crash is still unclear, but some minor injuries were reported. A member of the traveling pool staff was injured and receiving treatment, with reporters in the van also sustaining minor injuries. Despite the incident, Walz continued on to the campaign event with updates expected throughout the day. The crash occurred after a warm greeting at the airport, and the campaign stops were part of a Labor Day event. The Harris-Walz campaign charter aircraft was used for the first time, decorated with patriotic decals. The event continued as planned despite the crash, with all injured individuals being assessed by paramedics. Overall, the incident did not deter the campaign’s efforts to connect with voters ahead of the upcoming election.
