Kamala Harris introduces her vice candidate Tim Walz at a rally in Philadelphia, where they energize voters with their message of unity and a fight for a better future. Walz criticizes Trump's record on crime and service, calling Republicans 'creepy' and 'weird'.
Harris praises Walz's common sense, patriotism, and ability to build bridges. The selection process favored Walz, a former Congressman from rural Nebraska, over Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
Harris and Walz embark on a swing state tour to consolidate momentum ahead of the Chicago convention. They aim to appeal to the white working-class voters in the Midwest, who played a crucial role in Trump's victory in 2016. The choice of Walz is seen as an effort to win over these voters and bridge the gap between moderate and progressive Democrats.
While some newspapers question the decision, others view it as a strategic move to expand the party's appeal and counter Trump's campaign. The upcoming months will test Walz's response to the 2020 riots in Minnesota and his stance on foreign policy issues such as Israel and China.
Overall, Harris and Walz aim to bring enthusiasm and a sense of joy to the campaign, while engaging with key voter groups and swing states.
