Kamala Harris and Tim Walz just launched their dynamic campaign trail in the City of Brotherly Love! 🎉
On Tuesday, the Democratic presidential nominee Harris and her newly selected vice-presidential pick, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, energized a buzzing crowd of over 10,000 at Temple University in Philadelphia.
Walz shared his journey from a small town in Nebraska to serving 24 years in the Army National Guard, and his passion for teaching high school students (and coaching football! 🏈).
\"It was my students who pushed me to run for office,\" Walz said with a smile. \"They believed in me just as I believed in them—that one person can make a difference.\"
Not shying away from the big topics, Walz took aim at Republican nominee Donald Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance. \"He mocks our laws, sows chaos and division,\" Walz declared. \"And let's not forget—violent crime was up under Donald Trump. That's not even counting the crimes he committed!\"
The energy was electric as Walz championed women's reproductive rights, firing up the crowd: \"Even if we wouldn't make the same choice for ourselves, there's a golden rule: mind your own damn business!\" The audience roared in agreement. 🙌
Harris praised Walz, listing his many titles—husband, father, teacher, coach, veteran, congressman, governor—and confidently added, \"Come November 5th, he'll add Vice President of the United States to that list!\"
Harris's selection of Walz brings executive experience, military service, and the ability to connect with rural voters into the spotlight—key factors as the duo aims to bridge divides and inspire voters across the nation.
And guess what? The Harris campaign reported raising over $20 million since announcing Walz as the VP pick! 💰🎉
Stay tuned, amigos, this election is heating up! 🔥
