►► U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, and her running mate Tim Walz on Wednesday held rallies in Wisconsin and Michigan, two key swing states Republican nominee Donald Trump’s campaign has been aiming to flip this year.
« Tim and I have a message for Trump and others who want to turn back the clock on our fundamental freedoms: We’re not going back. We’re not going back, » Harris said at a rally in an airport hangar outside Detroit, Michigan, Wednesday night, sparking the crowd to chant « Not going back. »
The campaign said there were 15,000 people at the rally, the largest of this campaign so far. Protesters of Israel’s war in Gaza interrupted Harris’ speech, before being escorted out.
Earlier in the day, the duo held a rally in the rural area of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, which drew some 12,000 people.
Wednesday’s rallies in the Midwest came just one day after Harris announced that she had picked Walz, six-term U.S. House Representative and two-term governor of Minnesota, as her running mate.
