Democratic presidential candidate, Kamala Harrisalong with his vice presidential running mate, progressive Tim Walz, began their electoral campaign for the November elections on Tuesday with an optimistic message, seeking to defeat Republican Donald Trump after months of discouragement.
Hours after announcing Walz as his running mate, the two performed before 14,000 fans at a stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This was the first event of a tour that will take them to the most competitive states in the country, key to their path to the White House.

The historic fundraising figures, which have reached $20 million in the last few hours according to campaign sources, together with recent polls showing a rapprochement with Trump, offer a ray of hope for a party that 15 days ago considered the race lost.
It is worth noting that the record fundraising figures ($20 million in the last few hours, according to campaign sources) and the recent polls in which he has managed to close the gap with Trump are a breath of optimism for a party that 15 days ago gave up on the battle.
“This campaign, our campaign, is not just a fight against Donald Trump. Our campaign, this campaign, is a battle for the future,” he said.
The appearance allowed her to officially present herself as the party’s candidate, after having obtained the support of 99% of the delegates in the virtual vote that began last Thursday, where she was the only candidate.
At this presentation, thousands of supporters could be seen holding official signs with the surnames Harris and Walz, which were printed in a rush since the vice president waited until this morning to choose her running mate.
