Vice President Kamala Harris made her way to Indianapolis today, just days after securing the majority of Democratic delegates' support to replace President Joe Biden on the November ballot. Although Harris' visit was originally scheduled prior to Biden's unexpected withdrawal from the race, it now coincides with the launch of her presidential campaign.

Harris's first campaign rally took place in Wisconsin on Tuesday, and now she is set to deliver the keynote address at the biennial convention of the historically Black Zeta Phi Beta sorority at the Indiana Convention Center. It's important to note that this event is not a campaign stop, but an official visit for Harris.

The timing of Harris's visit is significant, as it coincides with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to a joint session of Congress and Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance's appearance at a fundraiser in Fort Wayne. Amidst all this political activity, Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett publicly endorsed Harris for president on his political X account, citing her experience, ability to break barriers, and commitment to public service.

While Harris's visit to Indianapolis may not be seen as directly related to her campaign, Indiana State Senator Andrea Hunley emphasized its importance, noting that Indiana had voted for former President Barack Obama in the 2008 election. She expressed belief in hope and the power of strong leadership, expressing excitement about Harris's kickoff of her campaign with the historically Black sorority.

Harris's visit to Indianapolis has raised speculation about her potential running mate in the upcoming election. A number of prominent Democrats have been mentioned, including Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, Democratic National Committee advisor Cedric Richmond, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

Attendees of the Zeta Phi Beta convention expressed excitement about Harris's presence, with many waiting in line for hours to hear her speak. Vivian Daniels, a participant from Alabama, expressed her eagerness, stating that she believes Harris will bring unity and represents various communities. She also expressed confidence that Harris would continue to engage with voters, despite Biden's exit from the race.

As Harris continues to campaign and engage with various constituencies across the country, her visit to Indianapolis serves as a notable moment in her presidential campaign. Although not a campaign event, her presence at the historically Black sorority convention and the endorsements she has received demonstrate her commitment to connecting with diverse communities and mobilizing support for her candidacy.

Only time will tell how Harris's presidential campaign unfolds and who she ultimately chooses as her running mate, but for now, her visit to Indianapolis marks an important step in her journey towards securing the Democratic nomination for President of the United States.
