VP pool report #5: Walking / questions / she's "ready"

VPOTUS (wearing all black, a hat and scarf) and the Second Gentleman (wearing a Harris/Walz sweatshirt) walked past the pool as part of what took on the feel of an impromptu procession, preceded by and followed by aides and security personnel both on foot and in vehicles.

At first, she did not answer questions about how she would respond to Trump at their upcoming debate and said "thank you" in the pool's direction.

Your pooler asked if she is ready for the debate. VPOTUS turned, made a thumbs-up gesture up and replied: "Ready!"

Pool has loaded back into vans and is rolling as of 1706.

VP pool report #6: still moving very slowly

Pool is in vans and the motorcade is moving very slowly. Your pooler has been informed that the extremely slow movement is because VPOTUS and the Second Gentleman are still on their walk and we (and the rest of the motorcade) are following them at an appropriate speed.
