Giffords Campaigns for Harris in Philadelphia

Former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, who survived a 2011 assassination attempt, joined Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign in Philadelphia, a critical swing state. The event, held at the Salt & Light Church, highlighted gun violence as a central issue, with speakers emphasizing Harris' commitment to banning assault weapons. Pennsylvania House Speaker Joanna McClinton framed the election as a choice between Harris and former President Donald Trump, supported by gun-rights groups. Despite speculation about potential running mates like U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, both Giffords and McClinton sidestepped questions on the matter. Harris is reportedly vetting around twelve candidates for the vice-presidential nomination, with upcoming rallies featuring other potential picks like Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper.
