VP Kamala Harris Milwaukee rally preparations

MILWAUKEE – Although the 2024 Democratic National Convention (DNC) is being held in Chicago, Milwaukee will take center stage this week. That is where the Harris-Walz campaign will be holding a rally on Tuesday night, Aug. 20.
One month after former President Donald Trump was inside Fiserv Forum for the Republican National Convention (RNC), the arena will once again welcome a presidential candidate. On Tuesday, people will be filing into Fiserv Forum to see Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz.
On Monday afternoon, Fiserv Forum crews prepped for the crowds expected to attend the rally. A group of Democrats gathered outside the arena doing their own preparations.
The vice president’s Tuesday night visit will land on the second day of the DNC in Chicago, putting Wisconsin in the spotlight once again.
“Because this is where the action is,” said UW-Milwaukee Professor Emeritus Mordecai Lee.

Both Harris and Walz are expected to speak at the rally. The campaign has yet to release official times for their speeches.
Attendees will be able to watch former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama’s speeches live from Chicago together in the arena following the rally program.
One month ago
Former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, accepted the Republican nomination inside Fiserv Forum in July.
During that event, security was tight. When asked about the vice president’s visit to Milwaukee, a Secret Service spokesperson said the following:
“The U.S. Secret Service works closely with our local law enforcement partners to maintain a robust security posture, while minimizing disruptions to the public.”
“Residents and visitors in or around downtown Milwaukee should expect intermittent road closures and parking restrictions as part of the visit.”

“The logic of campaigning is you try to maximize contact with those voters who can determine the election,” Lee said. “This is really, in a sense, great because Wisconsinites get more opportunities to see and hear the four candidates.”
Register for Harris-Walz event
The doors at Fiserv Forum open at 4 p.m. Tuesday. People can register for the event through the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
