Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz cast their partnership as a shield for everyday freedoms against the whims of a potential Donald Trump second term during their debut rally together in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania.
“We’ve got some work to do. We need to move to the general election and win that,” the vice president said Tuesday to cheers in a raucous Philadelphia university arena as she introduced the running mate she’d named earlier in the day. “We also need to level-set, we are the underdog in this race. … I know what we are up against.”
Harris later called strengthening the middle class her “defining goal” if elected.
