There may be some thought that the gang for Harris and Walz in Philadelphia might be greater than the one which Harris drew in Georgia.
As The New York Instances just lately reported after his Atlanta rally, the dimensions of the crowds that Harris is drawing is bothering Trump, “However there was one thing about Ms. Harris’s star flip on the similar area that had unsettled Mr. Trump. He appeared to be pining for the glory days of his first marketing campaign, again when his rollicking rallies had been however a harbinger of a shocking victory to come back. ”
Trump appears to imagine that crowd dimension can predict victory. This isn’t true. American political historical past is affected by candidates who may draw crowds however not votes. The newest instance is Trump himself, who held marketing campaign rallies in 2020 and nonetheless misplaced by thousands and thousands of votes.
Crowd dimension is a sign of enthusiasm, so what actually has Trump bothered isn’t the variety of folks, however the quantity of enthusiasm for Harris.
If Trump was rattled by the gang Harris drew in Atlanta, he is likely to be actually scared by what he’s going to see in Philadelphia.
