Kamala Harris to Rally in Milwaukee During Democratic National Convention

Vice President Kamala Harris will hold a rally at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee on Tuesday, August 16, coinciding with the second day of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The event marks her third visit to Wisconsin since becoming the Democratic nominee for vice president.

Crowds for Harris and Walz

Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, drew large crowds during their tour of battleground states last week. Over 12,000 people attended the rally in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Republican Ties to Fiserv Forum

Fiserv Forum, the site of Harris’ rally, previously hosted the Republican National Convention in August 2020, where former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, were nominated.

Event Details Still in Flux

Specific details of the event, including the time and whether Governor Walz will join Harris, are still being finalized. A spokesperson for the Harris campaign declined to provide further information.

Significance of the Milwaukee Rally

Harris’ rally in Milwaukee is part of the Democratic Party’s efforts to energize voters and galvanize support in battleground states like Wisconsin. The state, which narrowly voted for Trump in 2016, is considered crucial in the upcoming presidential election.

The Democratic National Convention will be held in Chicago from August 17-18. The event will feature speeches from party leaders, the official nomination of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and a focus on key issues facing the nation.
