Rallygoers say Harris' message on rights is important for women and their daughters
Chloe Longmire, who attended Wednesday's rally in Eau Claire, said she was encouraged and excited that Harris has the potential to become the first Black woman president.
“She's trying to create a world where every person has the right to their own decisions, their own body, their own choices. Women's rights are definitely important,” she told The Associated Press. “As a woman, as a woman with a daughter, I really want my daughter to be able to have the right to her own body. We talk about it every day, all the time, and it's central to me.”
Andrea Lorenz said teenagers are more interested in elections than ever before.
“I have two teenagers. My first is a daughter, and all of a sudden she wasn't interested in voting. But now she's interested,” she said, adding, “I love that she's talking about education and abortion rights.”
Wisconsin voter Dan Miller said he liked the tone and message of the Harris-Walz campaign.
“I love that Tim Walz says, 'Yes, we are monsters. Look at us. We want. We want to feed our kids. We want to educate everybody. We want to give women choices, not leave the choice to the government,'” he said. “The tone that they use is great. The message itself is great. So much better. We love Joe. Joe was a great president, but he's not the messenger he was. Sometimes you need a better messenger, and that's Kamala.”
