US Senator Kamala Harris will not let a little rain dampen her enthusiasm. The Democratic vice presidential candidate was filmed holding an umbrella while urging people to vote during an outdoor campaign event in Florida. He even managed to do a little jig on stage in the pouring rain while holding the umbrella in one hand, and a video of the moment is winning hearts on Twitter.
Harris, 55, had a doubleheader in Florida a few hours ago, according to Florida Politics. After speaking in Orlando, he headed to Jacksonville, drenched in the rain, for an open-air outdoor event. She was dressed in her signature Converse Chuck Taylors as she spoke to voters while sheltering from the persistent rain.
“When we vote, we win,” Harris told crowds at the event, according to the Jacksonville news website.
The Democratic vice presidential candidate shared a picture of the event on social media with a cool caption.
“Rain or shine, democracy waits for no one,” he wrote.
