David Pakman legitimately worried about Trump's PA crowd size

98. Tbh, I think relying on attendance on either side is a fool's errand.

Only the most diehard supporters of either candidate really attend these rallies. Not to mention that a portion of attendees probably act as groupies (as sad and pathetic as that might be) and just follow Trump/Harris/whoever across state lines.

I will say that the most concerning thing about this is that this is PA. However, most supporters of either candidate tend to be relatively quiet about it (remember: silent Trump supporters were a sizable portion of voters in 2016), and the minority who actually go to rallies tend to be the loudest supporters in general, so I would say: concern is ok, but rally attendance numbers should not be seen as some kind of measure of overall support. Enthusiasm, though, sure.
