  Speaker 1: Right now, we're going to Mitch McCann, who's our US correspondent, Mitch.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: So obviously there's a big whistle stop tour going on
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Karmala Harris and her new running mate and Waltz, and
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: you know the base loves this. What are those swing
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: voters thinking about them?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Well, they are managing to pull in more voters from
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: across the country because their rallies are huge at the moment.

  Speaker 2: Tim Wilts and Kamala Harris after Wisconsin this afternoon, Ryan,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: where are reported eight thousand people are expecting to hear
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: from them. I'm told the queue to get a car
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: park is three kilometers long, and then they're off to Michigan.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: It feels like Democrats have this renewed sense of momentum
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: and energy. Last night you would have seen thousands packed
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: out this auditorium in Philadelphia to hear from them, both
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: for the first time as running mates. They both gain
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: fiery speeches. People in the crowd described the atmosphere as electric.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: People compared it to when Barack Obama was running first
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: in two thousand and eight. Now let's talk about how
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: this has gone down with the Republicans and Donald Trump. Now,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: it was on Fox News this morning, and he said
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: he was shocked that Kamala Harris chose Waltz, but that
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: he was thrilled, and he said that Harris didn't choose
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro because of his Jewish faith.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: And Republicans are testing out a number of new attacks
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: against the peer, but nothing has really landed yet. They're
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: calling Tim Walls a far left lunatic or a left
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: wing radical Ryan.
• 1:23
