In a major event for the 2024 election campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz addressed supporters during a rally held in Glendale, Arizona on Friday. The campaign stop is part of an electoral battleground tour taken by Harris and her Vice Presidential nominee, Walz. Over 15,000 people gathered at Glendale’s Desert Diamond Arena to show their support.
Before Harris and Walz took center stage, an array of prominent Arizona Democratic politicians appeared to hype up the crowd and express their support for the running mates. The line-up included Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, Democratic Senate candidate Ruben Gallego, and Senator Mark Kelly and his wife, former congresswoman Gabby Giffords.
Mark Kelly, notable as both a former astronaut and a gun control advocate, had been considered a top contender for the Vice Presidential spot. Now, he is seen as a strong supporter of Harris, with talk of a possible role in her cabinet or other positions in her administration should she win the Presidential race.
Upon taking the stage, Governor Walz was met with roaring applause from the crowd. He opened up about his experiences, from serving in the Army and playing the role of social studies teacher and football coach, to his decision to venture into politics. The crowd showed their approval as he spoke about fighting for “common good”.
When Vice President Harris addressed the assembled supporters, she made several key progress promises. These included her intention to sign bills expanding voting rights, banning assault weapons, and addressing the pressing need for comprehensive border reform and a clear pathway to citizenship. Moreover, she also declared her stand on women’s autonomy, asserting, “we trust women” when it came to abortion legislation.
During Harris’ speech, a few pro-Palestinian protesters threatened to disrupt the proceedings. Harris adeptly addressed the situation by assuring the attendees that the current administration, under President Joe Biden, is actively working towards a ceasefire agreement.
The audience’s response to the event was overwhelmingly positive, a sign of enthusiastic support for the Harris-Walz ticket. The speeches made by the politicians were well-received, reinforcing the candidates’ campaign promises and political stances.
