Vice President Harris and Democratic vice presidential nominee Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz appear at a campaign event in Philadelphia on Tuesday.It’s been a long time since Democratic voters associated politics with joy. This week, from one swing state to the next, Vice President Harris and her new running mate, Tim Walz, barnstormed joyfully, lifted by the cheers of the largest rally crowds of their campaign.
There was a party atmosphere. Harris aides danced on the tarmac and DJs pumped up the crowd with songs like “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitney Houston, as everyone waited for Harris and Walz to step off the plane. When they did, the place went wild.Harris and Walz walk off an aircraft after they landed at the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport for a campaign rally on Wednesday.
“The same people raised us. Good people, hard-working people, people who had pride in their hard work,” Harris told union workers at an event in Detroit Thursday. One large banner read “Kamala and the coach,” referring to Walz, who later snapped a selfie with him and Harris in front of it. By the next morning, she was getting criticism from both the left and the right, questioning where she really stands on Israel and its war with Hamas in Gaza. It’s an issue that has proven a wedge in the Democratic base.
