Border Report – Harris and Walz crisscross the country

Posted on August 9, 2024

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – Vice President Kamala Harris and her new running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, continue to hit the campaign trail. They held rallies in two battleground states Wednesday, while former president Donald Trump’s running mate did the same.

Harris and Walz are headed out west to the crucial state of Arizona Thursday where voters there say one of their concerns is immigration. 

Wednesday it was all about the Midwest for both the Harris and Trump campaign.

Harris and Walz rallied supporters in Michigan.

“Do we believe in freedom?” Harris asked.

Protesters attempted to interrupt Harris during her campaign rally in Michigan.

“If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking,” Harris said.

Earlier the Harris-Walz campaign were in Wisconsin talking to voters about what they believe are key to this election. 

“I don’t need you telling me about our health care. I don’t need you telling us who we love,” said Walz.

Trump’s running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance took a similar path through the Midwest with his campaign. 

“We just need better leadership. It is so simple,” said Vance.

Vance even walked from his plane over to Air Force Two, Vice President Harris’s plane on the tarmac in Wisconsin. 

 “I just wanted to check out my future plane, but I also wanted to go say hello to the vice president,” said Vance.

He pushed back on the Harris campaign for calling him elitist.  

“If he wants to criticize me for getting an Ivy League education, I’m proud of the fact that my Mamaw supported me. That I was able to make something of myself,” said Vance.

The Harris-Walz campaign said it raised $36 million in the first 24 hours after she announced Walz as her running mate.
