  1. The enthusiasm is so real. 🔥

    People want hope. People want joy. Trump brings neither hope nor joy.

    This is why I am so optimistic about the Harris-Walz team. USA! USA! 🇺🇸

  2. Trump shitting his pants in realtime over that crowd size

  4. > VP nominee Tim Walz claimed that the rally “might be the largest political gathering in the history of Arizona”

    LOL this dude is like level 100 at getting under Trump’s skin.

  5. “Walz, on the tail end of his first week on the campaign trail after visits to Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, told the crowd at one point that he had “been told, by the way, [that the rally] might be the largest political gathering in the history of Arizona.””

    This guy is crafting his skill more and more to get under the opposition’s skin. This is almost sinister.

  7. Trumps rally is delayed 3 hours and playing old school sleeper music. Still hasnt started 10:45pm EST. Crowd size of maybe 5-6k at most

  8. Trump is fuming. No wonder he went to an already red state to campaign, he wants to capture a large crowd and that’s his only way if it even happens

  9. Yeah, I’ve never before been interested in attending a political rally, but I think these sound fantastic. I’d love to go and feel the excitement in the air.

  10. They HAVE to do some stadium rallies. Trump might spontaneously combust.

  11. “Kambala, maybe that’s her name, had 20,000. I had 20 million in Montana. Very few people in that state, but I had 20 million. People told me they’ve never seen such a big crowd on Montana, but it’s true. You know it. They told me it’s ‘Butte’ but
    I said ‘butt’ and they said it’s wrong. I guess it’s ‘boot.’ No one knows. A lot of people have been confused, but it was 20 million people….”

  12. Somewhere there’s a big Mac getting slaughtered

  13. Trump will just say the folks attending are all illegal immigrants 

  14. Please tell me he didn’t start dancing. This pic looks like he started dancing.

  15. So excited. We are driving 4 hours to go to the one tomorrow.

  16. Walz working with high school students has allowed him the super power to fully grasp Trump’s mind!

  17. For fun Harris / Walz should pick a deep blue state to hold a rally just to upstage trumps crowd size. Just keep adding nails in the coffin so on nov 5 we can finally have it nailed shut

  19. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.salon.com/2024/08/09/harris-campaign-rally-draws-massive-crowd-of-20000-in-arizona/) reduced by 62%. (I’m a bot)
    *****
    > Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz packed an Arizona arena to the rafters on Friday, in the largest swing-state rally since the vice president assumed the top of the ticket, calling attention to the massive building enthusiasm for the campaign.

    > Trump, who falsely boasted on Thursday that his crowd on Jan. 6 was larger than Dr. Martin Luther King's speech, was headlining his own rally in the deep-red state of Montana, his sole rally of the week.

    > The rally, addressed by Arizonan Democrats including Senator Mark Kelly, Rep. Ruben Gallego, and Attorney General Kris Mayes, as well as Mesa Mayor and Republicans for Harris chair John Giles, also marked the vice president's first visit to Arizona as the Democratic presidential nominee.

  22. lol this only pisses off orange turd even more with his Montana rally of less than 8k

  24. Watched the whole rally – Kamala and Walz have gotten stronger and keep growing with their speeches, they are both very clever and hitting so many different marks with a positive outlook on western life.

    Kamala also addressed the gaza protesters with grace and compassion and the correct take – Her and biden are working for a ceasefire

    So many good developments with this campaign

  25. Great rally, too. Her oration has really improved since 2020.

    She handled the pro-Palestine interruption like a total champ. Acknowledge, give brief statement, move on. Protestor feels heard and the speech continues.

  26. I listened to the rally commuting tonight and I’ll admit that Walz brought me such hope and joy. Kamala is way more powerful today than just 4 years ago. Her time as VP was perfect for her development as a world leader.

    The two together are legit decent people. It’s about time we had leadership that looks like the average citizen. The last thing we need is a wealthy, entitled person in the Oval Office. There ought to be a law that limits personal wealth of national office candidates.

    There should also be term limits for those that exceed a ratio of incoming wealth vs earned while in office.

    We the people deserve politics from we the people.

  28. More people will jump off the Trump bandwagon because no one likes being on the losing team.

  29. Mark Kelly and Gabby Giffords were absolutely adorable. So much love and compassion.

  30. Fill out the SoFi when Kamala gets home to California.

  32. I believe we’re experiencing one of those pivotal moments that will leave a lasting impact on the future. It’s the kind of moment that gives you chills and makes you feel the excitement in the air at all the rallies.

    For once, there’s a sense of hope instead of dread about what’s ahead. I hope the turnout is so overwhelming that it mirrors Roosevelt’s historic landslide with 523 electoral votes.

    Go Harris and Walz!

  33. Harris/Walz just need to find a venue to host “the largest political campaign rally” in the world. Get Guinness to certify it as the largest in the world and watch Trump implode with jealousy.

  35. Trump is not going to be happy about that. That is an Obama sized crowd.

  36. It feels like the cities these rallies are happening in are trying to outdo the previous in crowd size, and it’s just going to build, and drive MAGAts mad.

    Please keep trying to outdo yourselves in crowd size. I want to see a football stadium filled before October!

    Or I’m voting for Gordon Shumway

  37. Turns out a guy with 20 years’ experience dealing with 15-year-olds was exactly what the dems needed to handle Trump.

  38. I was there tonight! LOVED seeing Tim Walz and Mark Kelly. The energy for Gabby was like NOTHING else I’ve ever seen

  39. I’d like to think this means our country has finally had enough of Trump’s shit…

  40. OMG is this finally happening? A powerful shift in the country for sane policy? YES YES YES

  41. It would be hilarious if Kamala’s crowd sizes continue to explode because of people solely driven by the idea of triggering Trump’s weird insecurities about crowd size.
