Harris and Walz Set to Hold Rally in Milwaukee As Democratic Convention Approaches

Harris and Walz Gear Up for Rally in Milwaukee Amid Democratic Convention

MILWAUKEE – Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota’s Governor Tim Walz are laying plans for a rally in the City of Milwaukee next Tuesday, timed to coincide with the Democratic National Convention in nearby Chicago, with insiders providing details on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the information.

Plan for the Harris-Walz Rally

The organizers intend to stage the event in Fiserv Forum, the same arena where former President Donald J. Trump accepted the Republican nomination a month ago. However, according to two sources, the venue deal is yet to be finalized. If this event goes according to plan, it will offer a stark juxtaposition of the Harris-Walz ticket against the Trump-Vance duo from last month.

Campaign Visits and Crowd Attendance

The upcoming Milwaukee rally follows a series of stops that saw the pair addressing over 10,000 people in crucial battleground states. The energetic turnout at these events sparked boastful comments from Walz, which consequently irritated Trump. The former President baselessly claimed the crowd Morgans at the Harris-Walz events were fabricated.

The Tuesday rally, if it happens according to pace, will likely precede the prime-time speeches in Chicago, marking the highlight of the convention.

Contrasting Event Locations

Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, the proposed site for the Harris-Walz rally, is approximately 80 miles away from the United Center in Chicago. This is where the Democrats will congregate for their national convention. The rally’s location offers an outspoken contrast and symbolic challenge to the Republican campaign’s previous event.

Future Events

This week, plans are underway for an appearance by Ms. Harris alongside President Biden in Maryland. This will be their first public event since Biden stepped out from the presidential race. Harris is also slated to deliver an economic policy speech in North Carolina on Friday.

Harris Campaign’s Official Response

The Harris campaign, when contacted, declined to comment on its campaign itinerary for the upcoming week.

Historical Precedent

It’s customary for presidential candidates to hold events away from the convention before accepting their party’s nomination. Past conventions have seen figures like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama make appearances closer to the day of their nomination speeches, often using other stages to build anticipation and maintain visibility.
