President Joe Biden shocked the nation when he took himself out of the running for this year’s presidential race and nominated Vice President Kamala Harris in his stead. Harris stepped up and by the morning after the announcement, grass roots organizations nationwide had raised millions in support of her candidacy. Since then, Harris has been running what some would describe as a whirlwind campaign as the democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential race.

According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, Harris and Walz will rally together for the first time at Temple University’s Liacouras Center in Philadelphia today. This stop is the first in a series of campaign rallies in a series of battleground states.

“Harris will visit five states that she and Biden flipped blue in 2020: Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia and Arizona. She will also make stops in North Carolina, which Biden lost by a slim margin, and Nevada, where Democrats won narrowly,” NBC reported.

Harris and Walz have fourteen days from the time of their announcement until they appear before the Democratic National Convention Aug. 19-22.
