Vice President Kamala Harris held her best-attended political rally ever alongside former President Barack Obama in Georgia on Thursday.
Around 20,000 people attended a packed rally for the vice president at James R. Hallford Stadium in Clarkston, according to a Reuter's report citing the Harris campaign. The second largest political rally for Harris was attended by approximately 17,000 supporters in Greensboro, North Carolina, early last month.
The seated capacity of Thursday's rally venue, which often hosts outdoor high school sporting events, is listed at 15,600. However, images and videos of the Harris rally shared online appear to show some of the boisterous crowd standing on the field, making the campaign's attendance numbers feasible.
In addition to Obama, Bruce Springsteen was featured at the rally and performed briefly before the former president and the vice president took the stage. Clarkston is located in DeKalb County, which is one of the most Democratic-leaning counties in Georgia, with over 83 percent of voters having backed President Joe Biden in 2020.
