Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, sought to comfort Democrats on Monday in Michigan by highlighting how hard the party’s presidential campaign is working just a few days before Election Day. The event, which featured a performance from artist Maggie Rogers, was a rare rally featuring both Harris and Walz, who often headline separate rallies. "Eight days til the election and our team is running like everything's on the line,” Walz said. Walz, a former high school football coach, quoted famed University of Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler, telling the crowd, “The team, the team, the team.” The quote comes from a speech Schembechler gave in 1983 about his approach to coaching. “Boy,” said Walz, “do we have the right team.” Vice President Kamala Harris was confronted by over a dozen pro-Palestinian protestors at her event in Ann Arbor, Michigan on Monday. After Harris acknowledged the group, the vice president said, “On the subject of Gaza, we all want this war to end as soon as possible and to get the hostages out and I will do everything in my power to make it so.” The group was escorted out of the event shortly after their chants were drowned out by chants of “Kamala.” Michigan, because of its sizable Arab American population and progressive cities like Ann Arbor, has become the epicenter of activism against Harris and Democrats because of the war between Israel and Hamas. Harris later urged young voters Monday in Ann Arbor, Michigan to take the baton from “generations of Americans” who preserved freedom and back her over former President Donald Trump. The pitch urged young voters, many of whom were in the audience from the nearby University of Michigan, to seize the power they want and protect a series of rights. Harris specifically called out abortion rights, a key issue for younger voters. “Generations of Americans before us fought for freedom and now the baton is in our hands,” Harris said. “The baton is in our hands." “I love your generation,” Harris told the young audience. “You are rightly impatient for change.” The event was Harris’s final stop of a full day in Michigan that included a visit to a semiconductor plant and a union training hall.
