iNDICA NEWS BUREAU-
US Vice-President and Democrat Presidential candidate Kamala Harris introduced her running mate Tim Walz, the Governor of Minnesota, and herself to a Pennsylvania stadium packed with cheerful supporters as “middle-class kids” whose goal will be to strengthen the middle class if elected.
Walz stepped right into his role of an “attack dog” as the Vice-Presidential nominee by building on a catchphrase he had already given the Harris campaign.
He added the adjective “creepy” to “weird”, a word he used earlier to describe the rival Republican campaign of former President Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance.
“Since the day that I announced my candidacy, I set out to find a partner who can help build a brighter future,” Harris said.
“A leader who will help unite our nation and move us forward. A fighter for the middle class.
“So Pennsylvania, I’m here today because I found such a leader,” She told her supporters.
“We love our country. And I believe it is the highest form of patriotism to fight for the ideals of our country,” Harris said.
“That is how we preserve the promise of America. And after all, you know the promise of America is what makes it possible for two middle-class kids — one, a daughter of Oakland, California, who was raised by a working mother, the other a son of the Nebraska plains who grew up working on a farm — possible for them together to make it all the way to the White House?”
“Coach Walz and I may hail from different corners of our great country, but our values are the same: We both believe in lifting people up, not knocking them down,” read one of Harris tweets.
Earlier on Tuesday, August 7, VP Harris announced Tim Walz as her deputy pick.
Thanking Harris, Walz tweeted: “Over the next 91 days, and every day in the White House, I’ll have @KamalaHarris’ back—and we’ll have yours. We just have to fight. As Kamala says: When we fight, we win.”
Harris’s candidacy has galvanized the Democratic Party, injecting a strong dose of energy that is drawing comparisons with the 2008 campaign of Barack Obama, who went on to become the first African-American President.
