Democratic vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz recently energized delegates from Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, two crucial 'Blue Wall' battleground states, during the Democratic National Convention. Addressing the Wisconsin Democrats, Walz expressed gratitude for their dedication to the party and the nation, emphasizing the importance of conducting politics with dignity, kindness, and joy.
Walz emphasized the significance of giving their all in the upcoming election, stating, 'We are going to leave it all on the field. We’re going to knock every door that needs to be knocked. We are going to have no regrets on this.' Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer also spoke at the Wisconsin breakfast, highlighting the potential impact of Democrats retaining control of the Senate and House, along with electing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz as president and vice president.
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers echoed the sentiment, asserting that the path to the White House goes through their state and expressing confidence in their ability to deliver. Walz later surprised the Pennsylvania delegation with a spirited address, declaring, 'The blue wall is solid, people. The blue wall is solid.'
Walz shared impressive organizing achievements, including nearly 49,000 new volunteer signups, over 28,000 call shifts, 621,590 phone calls, and more than 90,000 door knocks since Harris took over the campaign on July 21. The enthusiasm and dedication displayed by the delegates and speakers underscore the importance of these key states in the upcoming election.
