A Comparison Of Trump And Harris Crowds
The now famous exchange at the debate about crowds and crowd sizes that set Trump off and ended with the ex-president repeating the lie about immigrants eating pets raised the perfect opportunity to compare the reactions that each candidate gets at their events.

The ovation Harris got in Greensboro reminded me of watching Taylor Swift's reaction when she takes the stage.
It is something more than love. It’s a bond. It is belief, support, and almost like they are willing Harris on. It is intense.
The cheering and screaming continued for two and a half solid minutes in Greensboro. They probably would have kept going if VP Harris didn’t get everybody down to business.
