Harris-Walz rally live: Kamala Harris shuts down pro-Palestine protesters at Detroit rally: ‘I’m speaking’

The president said that Trump needed to be taken seriously over his March comments that there would be a “bloodbath” for the US car industry and country should he be defeated in November.

The White House claimed at the time that the former president was inciting violence, which he rejected.

Mike Bedigan has the story.

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz hit mutiple Midwest states today, with rallies in Wisconsin and Michigan.

For their first stop in Eau Claire, they got a huge turnout, drawing a long line of rallygoers.

Harris also leads Trump on abortion by a huge 15 per cent margin, although the latter has a six-point advantage over the former when it comes to illegal immigration, suggesting MAGA attacks on the Democrat’s past role as a “border czar” within the Biden administration are hurting her on that issue.

A group of pro-Palestine activists briefly interrupted Kamala Harris’s speech today in Detroit.

Here’s what they said, before being quickly reprimanded by the vice president.

Kamala Harris just shut down a group who was chanting during her speech.

“We won’t vote for genocide,” the protesters reportedly said.

“If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that, otherwise I’m speaking,” she said sternly.

Kamala Harris is in the driver’s seat for the Democrats, but party faithful clearly haven’t forgotten about the president.

At the mention of Biden, the crowd began chanting, “Thank you, Joe!”

“I’m going to tell him what you said,” Harris said onstage in Detroit.

The vice president has arrived and taken the stage in Detroit.

Tim Walz is opening up about why he’s so committed to fighting for access to reproductive care like IVF, which could be under threat from a future Trump administration.

His own daughter, Hope, arrived via the procedure.

“This is very personal for my family,” Walz said, describing the “agony” of waiting for years for a successful round of treatment.

“The agony of that I can feel to this day.”

More on the Walz family here, as Sheila Flynn reports.

The Harris-Walz campaign is starting to hit on some central themes, and joy is one of them.

“Those other guys.. tried to steal the joy from this country,” Tim Walz said today from the podium in Detroit.

The campaign has also sought to instill a bit of Midwestern, small-town flair to things, mixing positive messaging and touting the importance “minding your own damn business” on issues ranging from women’s health to access to books.

“It’s amazing what minding your own damn business does to make things work better,” Walz told the crowd.

Earlier in the event, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer called the crowd a group of “happy warriors” for Harris-Walz.
