As per the schedule, Harris and her vice presidential candidate will hold a joint rally in Philadelphia in the evening. After the event in Philadelphia on Tuesday, a series of campaigns will follow in Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona, before concluding her campaign in Las Vegas, Nevada, on August 10.
60-year-old Tim Walz is a veteran of the U.S. Army National Guard and a former teacher. In November 2006, he was elected as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives with the Democratic Party, where he served for 12 years before being elected governor of Minnesota in 2018. As governor, he promoted a progressive agenda that included, among other things, free school lunches, climate change goals, tax cuts for the middle class, and more.
