Harris heads to Milwaukee for first rally since launching her presidential campaign
Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to travel to Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Tuesday for her first rally in her presidential campaign.
Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to travel to Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Tuesday for her first rally in her presidential campaign.
Harris’ trip to Milwaukee marks her first stop in a battleground state under her presidential campaign. It will be her ninth visit to Wisconsin in her vice presidential term and her fifth visit to the state this year, her campaign said in a press release.
She is expected to make the case to Wisconsin voters that they face a choice between former President Donald Trump, a convicted felon “who would drag this country backwards,” and Harris’ “brighter vision for the future, where our freedoms are protected and every American has a fair shot,” the campaign said.
Democratic lawmakers and other political figures across the country swiftly rallied around her after President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the race and endorsement of Harris on Sunday. By Monday, a majority of pledged Democratic convention delegates endorsed Harris on her first full day as a presidential candidate.
The vice president also spoke at a White House event Monday, where she did not discuss her campaign but Biden’s leadership.
