'We all want the war in Gaza to end,' Harris responds to 'cease-fire now' chants
A few chants of "cease-fire now" broke out as Vice President Kamala Harris took the stage during a rally at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on Wednesday night.
"Listen, we all want the war in Gaza to end and get the hostages out as soon as possible," Harris said in response to the chanting. "And I will do everything in my power to make it heard and known."
As the chants continued, she said, "And everyone has a right to be heard. But right now I am speaking." The remark garnered loud cheers.
The event was billed as a "Get Out the Vote" rally and took place at the University of Wisconsin-Madison featuring performances by Gracie Abrams and Mumford & Sons.
With less than a week before Election Day, Harris is taking her "closing argument" to voters on the road after a big speech at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday night. (Pro-Palestinian protesters were also escorted out of that speech)
Harris' remarks in Wisconsin lasted about 25 minutes. In them, she did not address President Joe Biden's controversial comments Tuesday that seemed to refer to Trump supporters as "garbage."
