Hello, Milwaukee.
How are we doing?
>> For a few hours this week, as vice president, Harris says, the road to the white House runs through this very state.
In one night, only a piece of the Democratic National Convention heart of downtown Milwaukee, with the official convention in full swing, 90 miles away inside Chicago's United Center.
Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, fill two arenas at the same time in two cities with fired up voters in Chicago and Milwaukee, which lights up with excitement no matter what.

two twin rallies takes place in the same space where Republicans held their convention, barely a month ago.
Today, two blocks away, a huge Trump billboard sits high in the sky, offering voters a contrast between Republicans and Democrats.
Democratic campaign officials hope this convention style campaign stop in Milwaukee has the same effect.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Governor Tim Walsh, the vice presidential hopeful Tim Walz walks out and stuns this crowd.

They didn't know the big party was here in Milwaukee tonight.
So this is where it's at.
>> He wastes no time in talking about the elephant in the room.
Their opponent, Donald Trump.
>> They left here riding high.
They were feeling good.
This thing was over.
Well, trust me, Milwaukee a hell of a lot can change in four weeks when it's time for the Wisconsin delegation, this Milwaukee audience erupts into a Wisconsin Badger football tradition meant to give the team a last quarter push towards victory.
>> I am thrilled to reaffirm Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for president of the United States.

freedom to be safe from gun violence.
The freedom to love who you love openly and with pride.
