There was a sense of electricity and destiny in the massive crowd of 14,000 that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz spoke before yesterday evening in Philadelphia.
And today, in Wisconsin, in very hot weather in Eau Claire, before a crowd in a rural part of that Midwestern state, 12,000 showed up, with the sense of destiny continuing.
Donald Trump and JD Vance are unable to draw crowds anywhere near these sizes at Republican rallies, and it is driving Trump crazy!
It seems clear that the Harris-Walz ticket has gained an energy that was lacking when President Joe Biden was still running for another term.
And the more the nation learns about Tim Walz—the teacher, the coach, the National Guardsman, the Congressman, and the Governor–the more it inspires the Democratic Party to a sense of optimism and confidence about the upcoming Presidential Election of 2024!
Trump is so jealous of the attention on her that he’s having a press conference today at 2.
Republican’s are trying to smear Walz’s military record.
Her rally in Detroit drew about 15,000 people.
The Trump campaign’s attacks on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s military record are channeling the “swift boating” campaign 20 years ago against John Kerry, which accused the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee of lying about his Vietnam service and decorations.
The common denominator in both efforts: Trump campaign co-manager Chris LaCivita.
LaCivita played a key role in the political advocacy group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which ran the TV ad campaign questioning Kerry’s military service. It’s a playbook that the Trump campaign appears to be re-running after Vice President Kamala Harris tapped Walz, a 24-year veteran of the Army National Guard, as her running mate.
