WAYNE COUNTY, MI – The nation’s highest politics descended upon Metro Detroit on Wednesday, with Vice President Kamala Harris hosting a rally with her newly-selected running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, in a packed airplane hangar Detroit Metro Airport.

About 15,000 people filled the hangar, the crowd spilling out onto the tarmac and cheering as Air Force Two arrived. Michigan Democrats including Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, U.S. Reps. Elissa Slotkin, Debbie Dingell and Shri Thanedar and U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow joined Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist in welcoming the Harris and her running mate.

In front of a raucous crowd, the candidates highlighted their own accomplishments and directed criticism at their opponents - former President Donald Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance, who made an appearance earlier Wednesday in suburban Sterling Heights. A group of Pro-Palestinian protesters briefly interrupted the vice president before they were removed.
