Kamala in North Carolina

 

Vice President Kamala Harris received a large welcome party of North Carolina Democrats as she arrived in Raleigh for a rally on her emerging economic platform.

The welcome party included North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper and Attorney General Josh Stein, as well as members of the state’s congressional delegation including Reps. Alma Adams, Kathy Manning, Valerie Foushee and Wiley Nickel. The mayors of Raleigh, Morrisville and Durham and chair of Durham County’s board of commissioners were also present.

Harris hugged Cooper upon touching down in the Tar Heel State and chatted with each member of the welcome party. Foushee wore a Delta Sigma Theta-themed shirt, a Black sorority that has rallied for the vice president, as she embraced Harris. The vice president chatted with Durham County Commissioner Nida Allam while holding the commissioner’s three-month-old.
