Vice President Kamala Harris introduced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate during an electric rally held at Temple University’s Liacouras Center on Tuesday, the first stop of a national tour to jointly campaign the newly announced ticket.
Harris’ first rally as the Democratic Party’s official presidential nominee came at the end of an intense vice presidential search and featured an all-star lineup of Pennsylvania Democrats, including Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison, Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker, United States Sens. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) and Bob Casey (D-Pa.), and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro. Only two weeks removed from President Joe Biden’s unprecedented decision to depart the 2024 presidential race, the speakers presented a united, reinvigorated Democratic front. As Harris and Walz preached to the crowd about "bringing back the joy," The Daily Pennsylvanian’s photographers were on the ground capturing the re-energized Democratic crowd, moment by moment.
