Democratic Presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her Vice Presidential pick Tim Walz made their first campaign stop in Philadelphia on Tuesday after the official announcement was made earlier in the day.
The Democratic duo stood before a packed house at Temple University as the electric crowd of thousands exploded when the two walked out on stage together.
Earlier in the day, JD Vance also held a much smaller rally in the battleground state of Pennsylvania where he launched attacks on Harris and Walz.
Now the campaigns continue on the trail with events scheduled in the other battleground states in the coming days.
