Local Democrats in Cincinnati gathered for a campaign fundraising event for Kamala Harris’ presidential bid, featuring Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz. The event was held at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and was attended by various city politicians and notable figures, including former Ohio Health Director Dr. Amy Acton and actor Mario Van Peebles. Walz delivered a message about Democratic values and the importance of voting in Ohio. The event also drew protestors calling for an arms embargo. Despite efforts to bring Harris to the region, she visited North Carolina instead due to the limited time left before the election. Cincinnati is seen as an important stronghold for Democrats on the national stage, and the event was held in Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance’s hometown. The event highlighted the significance of Cincinnati in national politics, particularly with key figures such as Sherrod Brown running for reelection in the upcoming election. Early voting in Ohio is set to begin on October 8th.
