Kamala Harris and her running mate, the Minnesota governor, Tim Walz, continued their swing-state tour yesterday with rallies in rural Wisconsin and Detroit, Michigan, that the campaign said brought out more than 10,000 people each. The Detroit rally on Wednesday night attracted 15,000 supporters in another crucial swing state, the Harris campaign told reporters. Walz called it “the largest rally of the campaign” so far. The big Detroit crowd repeatedly chanted: “We’re not going back,” Democrats’ counter to Trump’s anti-abortion politics and “make America great again” slogan.
