The Kamala Harris-Tim Walz camouflage “midwest princess” hat, seemingly inspired by singer Chappell Roan, has reached nearly $1m in sales in 24 hours.
On August 6, Vice President Harris declared the Minnesota governor as her Democratic running mate for the 2024 presidential election this November. In the official announcement video posted by Harris, an ecstatic Walz was featured, celebrating his bid as her vice president candidate from the comfort of his home. The 60-year-old politician dressed in a simple outfit: a black T-shirt, khaki bottoms, and a camouflage baseball cap.

The $40 “Harris-Walz Camo Hat” is available on the campaign’s website. According to Teen Vogue, 3,000 hats were sold within 30 minutes of the sale going live. Since then, sales have amounted to nearly $1m, according to Teen Vogue’s report.
On the website, the hat is said to be “American made, union made” and all profits go to the Harris Victory Fund. “The most iconic political hat in America,” the description reads. And Bon Iver thinks so as well. The iconic musician was photographed wearing it on stage at a Harris-Walz campaign rally in Wisconisn on August 7.
This is going to break some conservatives who have made camouflage part of their identity. Can’t wait.
I’m something of a redneck in a hard-right area and want one so bad. Probably get me in a fight.
Hell yeah. Was hoping I could snag one before dove opener so I could wear it as a “fuck you” to the racists who get invited to the hunts we’re part of, but unfortunately they won’t ship in time.
Just as well, I suppose, as the host might have thought twice about inviting us next year.

Not surprising that racists are getting invited to dove hunts. If they hold views that make it okay for them to be violent towards birds for fun, it shouldn’t be a surprise they are also hostile to fellow humans.
That’s not as clever a point as you think it is. 🙄
Now do camo sneakers. With gold trim. Just to poke the bear 😉
Whoa…made in America and union made.
REAL Patriots make their merch in CHYNA!
I might have to buy one just to support that union.
Careful with “American Made” tho; they often mean Guam or American Samoa which both get right shafted by government and policy.
My favorite is American assembled. All imported parts they just stick 2 parts together here and call it a day.
i’ve never in my 40+ years bought any political campaign merch, and i just spent $50 in the harris walz store
HARRIS WALZ ARE CLOSING IN ON TRUMP 2024
Honestly I wasn’t going to either (because I prefer to directly donate) but when I saw that amrican/union-made label I instantly went for it. I am a sucker for American manufactured goods.
They got me with a dark brandon mug when Biden was still running. All their stuff is union made and they lean into the memes more than I expected
I look at half of this stuff as a limited edition collectible, I’ve got a box with some shirts and pins and stickers from various candidates and causes.
That dark brandon mug is going to be cool as fuck when your grandkids come across it.
in a way it kind of sucks that we don’t have the huge selection and variety of merch that GOP has. but dems just don’t idolize their candidates to a fraction of a degree that trump voters do, so it’s not cost effective for them to offer tons of different things. oh well
I went to a touristy area full of Tshirt shops recently and every shop had at least one poorly made trump shirt on display. I strongly suspect they do not financially support trump with those sales
if you’re devoid of morals and never heard of “ethics” and you see gullible suckers throwing money at trump, then yea–you’re going to sell bootleg trump shit. guaranteed profits
