The Harris Waltz campaign confirmed that it had sold nearly $1 million in camouflage hats (now sold out) emblazoned with “Harris Waltz” in orange in the first day after their release.
“You asked, we answered,” the campaign said. online store“America’s Most Iconic Political Hat”
The campaign initially printed 3,000 hats, which sold out in less than 30 minutes. The hats were priced at $40 and were union-made in the USA.
Vice President Harris announced Tuesday that she had chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (Democrat) as her running mate. Harris announced the selection in a video that showed the governor dressed in camouflage at her St. Paul home.
Internet users took notice of the camo hat worn at the announcement and began calling the North Star Governor the “Midwest Princess,” a reference to merchandise by pop singer Chappelle Lawn, whose cap features a camo hat with the words “Midwest Princess” written in orange font.
So many hats were sold that, according to reports, Teen Vogue wondered. The red hat has become associated with former President Trump and his supporters, so it’s questionable whether the camouflage hat will be a permanent change.
The campaign said the idea for the hat came from the governor himself, after he was seen wearing a camouflage hat during a video call between Harris and Walz.
Waltz Shared photos He was photographed wearing the hat after attending his first rally with Harris in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, and Harris said, “This is how we ended the night.”
The campaign said it had the hats printed in Pennsylvania so that Walz and his family could be the first recipients.
