The presidential campaign returned to the Lehigh Valley on Saturday, as Democratic vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz told supporters at a Bethlehem area rally “we’re not going back” and made his case for electing Kamala Harris and rejecting former President Donald Trump.
Walz spoke for around 45 minutes to an enthusiastic crowd at Freedom High School in Bethlehem Township. He closed out the rally with a “When we fight, we win” chant, which has become one of Harris’ trademark lines on the campaign stump. “Forty-five days to bring joy back to our politics,” Walz told the crowd, counting down the days to Election Day on Nov. 5. “All gas, no brakes.”
Also appearing at the rally were Anthony Ramos, a Brooklyn-born Puerto Rican actor and singer who starred in “Hamilton,” and Liza Colon-Zayas, an Emmy Award-winning actor on “The Bear” who also shares Puerto Rican heritage. Ramos encouraged everyone at the rally to go out and vote.
“Why would we not want to hold onto this feeling?” he said. “This is the feeling we want to hold onto for the next four years and the rest of our lives.”
