CHICAGO – Vice President Kamala Harris celebrated the “ceremonial” roll call vote nominating her as the Democratic Party’s nominee on Tuesday evening during a rally in Milwaukee, which is located about a 90-minute drive from the DNC’s host city of Chicago.
“The delegates at the Democratic National Convention, well they just completed their roll call. And they have nominated Coach Walz and me to be the next vice president and president of the United States of America,” Harris told the rally crowd in Milwaukee.
“I thank everyone there and here for believing in what we can do together. We are so honored to be your nominees. This is a people power campaign, and together we will chart a new way forward,” she added.
Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz are in Milwaukee Tuesday evening for a rally in the city that hosted the Republican National Convention just last month.

Just about 100 miles south of the Wisconsin city, thousands of Democrats are gathered in Chicago for the DNC, which kicked off on Monday. The roll call vote on Tuesday evening was ceremonial and non-binding, as Democrats moved to nominate Harris and Walz earlier this month.
Tuesday’s DNC speech line-up is stacked with high-profile Democrats, including former President Barack Obama, former first lady Michelle Obama, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and others.
