Kamala Harris Hosts Rally In Milwaukee As DNC Continues In Chicago

Vice President Kamala Harris unexpectedly left Chicago for Milwaukee during the second day of the Democratic National Convention (DNC).

According to The New York Post, Harris traveled to Wisconsin to address a nearly full arena audience and host a DNC watch party with rally attendees.

This decision came as former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama were set to deliver keynote speeches at the convention in Chicago. Some have interpreted this move as a potential snub to the Obamas, who were reportedly slow to endorse Harris's candidacy.

Harris's Milwaukee Rally And DNC Livestream

Upon arriving in Milwaukee, Harris spoke at the Fiserv Forum, where a large crowd had gathered. The event was a rally and included a livestream component connected to the ongoing DNC in Chicago.

Jaliah Jefferson, a Milwaukee Democratic organizer, informed the audience that they would be broadcast live as part of the DNC coverage. She encouraged the crowd to show their energy, stating that voters across the country needed to see Wisconsin's support for Harris.

The atmosphere at the Fiserv Forum was reportedly enthusiastic, with DJ Shawna entertaining the crowd before Harris's arrival. Many attendees had traveled from Illinois, showing strong support from the neighboring state.

Speculation On Harris's Decision To Leave Chicago

The decision to leave Chicago during such a crucial night of the DNC has sparked speculation about potential rifts within the Democratic Party. Some sources suggest that Harris's move might be related to tensions surrounding her candidacy.

A source close to the Biden family, speaking to The New York Post, claimed that the enthusiasm for Harris is "all manufactured." The source went on to suggest that both Obama and Biden believe Harris will not win the election.

This statement aligns with earlier reports that President Biden's endorsement of Harris came as a surprise to Obama, who reportedly preferred allowing DNC delegates to choose a new candidate.

Obama's Remarks And Harris's Campaign Speech

Despite the speculation surrounding Harris's departure from Chicago, both Barack and Michelle Obama delivered their speeches at the DNC as scheduled. Their remarks came after delegates cast their votes for the Harris-Walz ticket.

In Milwaukee, Harris delivered what was described as her standard campaign rally speech. She focused on her new policy agenda and emphasized the importance of reproductive rights. Harris made a strong statement regarding abortion legislation, saying:

She said that when Congress hands her a bill making abortion legal nationally, "I will proudly sign it into law," The vice president also used the opportunity to encourage the crowd to help get out the vote for the upcoming November election.

Post-Rally Activities And Audience Response

After Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, finished their speeches, the rally attendees were directed outside.

They were informed that they could continue watching the DNC proceedings, including the Obamas' speeches, on a Jumbotron set up outside the Fiserv arena.

However, reports indicate that the majority of the attendees chose to leave immediately rather than stay to watch the remainder of the DNC coverage.

Trump's Unexpected Comment On Obama

In an unexpected turn of events, former President Donald Trump made a surprisingly positive comment about Barack Obama during this period. Trump stated, "I happen to like him. I respect him and I respect his wife." This remark stood out as an unusual moment of praise from Trump towards his predecessor.

In conclusion, Vice President Kamala Harris's decision to leave Chicago for Milwaukee during the second night of the Democratic National Convention has attracted attention and sparked speculation. While Harris addressed a large crowd in Milwaukee and participated in a DNC livestream, former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama delivered their keynote speeches in Chicago as planned.

The move has led to discussions about potential tensions within the Democratic Party, particularly regarding Harris's candidacy. Despite these speculations, both events proceeded as scheduled, with Harris focusing on her campaign message in Milwaukee while the Obamas spoke at the DNC in Chicago.
