Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz drew the largest crowd of their new campaign thus far at their rally in Phoenix, Arizona on Friday.
They were greeted by Sen. Mark Kelly and his wife, former Rep. Gabby Giffords, who have been longtime friends of VP Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff.
"Lifelong Republican" and Glendale Mayor John Giles gave a Masterclass of a speech explaining why he's supporting this Democratic ticket.
The Trumpers aren't going to like that one. Or the record-breaking crowd size. Or the joy. Or the enthusiasm.
Gov. Walz entered to the strains of "Small Town" by John Mellencamp and warmed up the crowd with his now-patented Dad Jokes and one-liners about Donald Trump.
Vice President Harris had to wait out another extended ovation after Coach Walz introduced her. It wasn't too long into her speech before she was once again interrupted by protestors chanting "Free Palestine!"
This time, VP Harris took a moment to go off-script and address the disruptive shouts.
“We’re here to fight for our democracy, which includes respecting the voices that I think we are hearing from," the Vice President said. "Let me just speak to that for a moment and then I’ll get back to the business at hand.
“I have been clear: now is the time to get a ceasefire deal and get the hostage deal done," VP Harris stated emphatically to crowd cheers. "Now is the time. And the President and I are working around the clock every day to get that ceasefire deal done and bring the hostages home.”
