Former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle are headlining night two of the Democratic National Convention and it has been noted that Kamala Harris left Chicago and traveled north to Wisconsin in order to address an almost-capacity arena audience. She will hold a DNC watch party with rally attendees and it is an obvious snub of the pair, who took their time in reluctantly endorsing her via NY Post.
“I’m really gonna need your energy when they broadcast us live,” Milwaukee Democratic organizer Jaliah Jefferson told the Fiserv Forum crowd when she broke the news they would be livestreamed at one point in the night as part of the DNC.
Jefferson told Harris “will be broadcast into TVs all over the country. And voters need to know that Wisconsinites, they stand with her.”
It has been noted that it was a sort of “Clap now” sign to make sure Chicago and the country felt the intensity. However, the jazzed crowd didn’t need the instruction.
Attendees, who were entertained by “DJ Shawna” for more than half an hour before Harris arrived, boasted a large Illinois component, who roared deafeningly when the DJ called it out.
There has been a question as to why was Harris in Milwaukee on DNC Day 2 instead of Chicago. The unprecedented move may point to a deeper rift in the party over Harris’ candidacy.
“It’s all manufactured,” a source close to the Biden family told The Post of the “hype” about Harris. “Obama and Biden know she is going to lose.”
