A massive and enthusiastic crowd gathered Friday evening at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale to cheer on Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Arizona’s top Democrats came out in full force to sing the praises of the top of their ticket, including U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly and his wife, Gabby Giffords, along with Congressman Ruben Gallego, who is running for the Senate, and Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego.
The more than 15,000-strong crowd that nearly filled the 20,000-seat arena, per the campaign’s estimate, danced to popular hip-hop and rap songs from artists like Lizzo and Saweetie while they waved signs in support of Harris, and ones that signified their affection for Walz’s history as a football coach.
Harris hit on many of the key points her campaign has focused on since it began just over a few weeks ago, including making sure life is more affordable for the middle class and ensuring that young people will be able to afford their own homes in the future.
And she made sure to highlight the differences between her plans for the presidency and those of her Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump.
