We went to the Harris/Walz rally last night in Milwaukee! It was so exciting. Fiserv Forum was packed to capacity and the audience was full of excitement. They had live feed from the DNC in Chicago and we felt like we were part of the convention. Everyone was cheering and yelling for the roll call. Then in the middle of the roll call Tim Walz came out and the crowd went wild. He was great! Then they finished the roll call and VP Harris came out. She was so enthusiastic she had the crowd going nuts. She would yell "When we fight" and the crowd would yell "We win!". They gave everyone light up wristbands like they had on at the convention. When it was all over the crowd was still buzzing with excitement on the way out. They had giant screens set up outside so people could watch the coverage from the convention. It was the first time we were part of an AI generated crowd!/s It really was a lot of fun and we are so glad we went.

I was all jazzed up just from watching the DNC on tv. I can't even imagine how it would feel to be part of that environment. You almost got a two for one experience  |

I'm so jealous! What an exciting night!
My kids were sending me clips from last night as they were watching it from home. It does my heart good to see them hopeful and engaged rather than feeling a deep sense of dread as we did in 2016, but we can't let up or rest. Full speed ahead!

Sounds like a really great night. Glad you got to go. I think it was genius of them to do these two events simultaneously and particularly where the RNC had their convention.
I've noticed that Trump is on the campaign trail when just last week he had said he was taking the rest of August off and not doing many events. Guess some polls might have changed his mind.

I was so blown away by everything from last night. I absolutely love that you were in Milwaukee - so brilliant that they held a rally there last night.
