The Harris NC rally was capacity @17,000 in Greensboro - AFTER 7,500 in Charlotte the same day



Amee Vanderpool
The Kamala Harris North Carolina rally was at capacity yesterday, and over 17,000 people showed up for her in Greensboro. This was AFTER 7,500 went to her rally in Charlotte that same day.

Watching it more the once is good therapy for election anxiety!

Big events, in for instance Austin, do have parking lots available with buses running to get people to the actual site.

Parking for 17,000 requires long distances for attendees to walk (many which might be elder or disabled). Providing shuttles for them from parking to the arena is a courtesy for attendees.

10. Trump has bussed people in. We know because he stranded them in the snow.

And he pays people. The ads are there for anyone to see.

Projection again.

"Nobody goes to her rallies. If they do, she buses them in."

Makes me wonder how many buses are needed for 17K in Greensboro. Or even over 7K in Charlotte? A HUGE number!

End of argument. People know how to walk and drive in North Carolina. Shuttles are likely provided for those with disabilities.
