A large and enthusiastic crowd gathered at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia for Vice President Kamala Harris’ first joint appearance with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. The venue, known as the home of Temple basketball, was filled with supporters wearing flashing blue, red, and white bracelets. Almost all of the 10,000 seats were occupied, with additional attendees gathered on the floor.
The atmosphere was electric, with large banners displaying the new campaign logo featuring 'Harris' in white block capitals above 'Walz' in a slightly smaller font against a blue background. The crowd was energized as home state Sen. John Fetterman took the stage, emphasizing Pennsylvania's role in choosing the president.
“Pennsylvania picks the president, we did that in 2020 and in three months we are going to do that again,” Fetterman declared, highlighting the state's significance in the upcoming election.
Fetterman also shared his thoughts on the GOP vice presidential nominee, JD Vance, describing him as a 'seriously weird dude.' This comment drew laughter and applause from the audience, echoing the sentiment previously expressed by Gov. Walz.
The event showcased the unity and enthusiasm of Harris and Walz supporters, setting the stage for a dynamic and engaging campaign ahead. With the energy and momentum of the crowd, the joint appearance marked a significant moment in the political landscape as the election season progresses.
