Looking like it's going to be another big event.

1. The campaign is stealing the opposition's play by showing the long lines versus his half-filled venues.

And relatedly playing on the "Joe's campaigning out of his basement" line by noting the Republican nominee's "campaign" is mostly just him calling FOX from Mar-a-Lago. The lone oldie can't handle the rigors of campaigning, etc.

2. The Democrats' operation is very, well, professional. Smooth rollout, coordinated comms, messaging and tone. It is clear they want to be the choice for sunny optimism, and not merely ABT.

It is as if Democrats didn't purge their ranks of seasoned vets and replace them with familial grifters.

Wait until Detroit later today. Supposedly they're having to move it to an aircraft hangar because 50k already signed up.

From four years ago. This kind of thing is going to play well here in the flyover states. I like this guy.

"I'm your huckleberry" needs to be the campaign slogan.

This from a Facebook friend this morning:

“Picking Walz is a massive gift to the Republicans. He's a radical Leftist from a non-swing state with a long history of insane statements, who presided over the burning down of his state in 2020. Ben Shapiro.

Vance's crowd:
I've seen more people at Friday night cruise nights at the local Superdog.

By the way, Eau Claire is only about 100 miles from The Cities, so there will be a lot of Minnesota residents at the Harris / Walz rally.

hahahaha there's audio of Trump praising Walz' handling of the Floyd protests.

Even sadder is that more than half of the crowd at Vance’s rally are media.

Someone on the bird-fire site suggested Gen Z lurves Walz because (among, like, actual substantive reasons), he's the dad they wished they had, and not the one who got turned into a FOX hatezombie.

THIS IS AWESOME! I'm trapped in Tina Peters land but loving this thread and can't wait to see the MN Rally! It's Colorado time so only 4pm there & they'll go until 5. I'd make that my profile pic if I could get it small enough but probably it's too big.

ETA: Note the SMOOTH way I worked it into the Tina Peters live tweeting!

Kamala and Tim just started in Detroit 7:55pm Eastern, Kamala's on. Massive video upgrade, almost looks like film, this might be the event they'll be using for ads and convention footage. This is on the Kamala channel.





Yay. In Atlanta, Kamala didn't thank Joe Biden and I put the word out to Andy Tobias and lots of DNC folks. We love Joe Biden, celebrate him! She just did and they're cheering: Thank you Joe. Goosebumps.

ETA: EXCELLENT. When the crowd starting chanting LOCK HIM UP, Kamala replied: Hey, the thing is, the courts are gonna handle that. We're gonna BEAT HIM IN NOVEMBER! The 2024 version of Don't Boo, Vote. "We are JOYFUL WARRIORS!" We see you, Plouffe.

Crowd chants KA-MA-LA! She laughs, they won't stop. She said, in our campaign all voices are important, but I'm speaking now.

Some won't stop, unclear what they're chanting but she has enough. "If you want Donald Trump to win, then keep saying that. Otherwise, I'm speaking."

Huge chant: We're not going back!

They are kicking ass. This is an extended version of her stump speech... either her aides are adding, or it's extra for this broadcast. Fun fun fun.


ETA: 8:34pm Eastern, Top CNN story used that quote. Jeff Zeleny said it was 8 protestors.

Me thinks...she does not.

Vance had his rally in a Detroit suburb county of 800K that leans Red, especially for Trump (though he elected Obama twice). He was further north, so he was in an even more GOP-friendly world. The counties to the north are even redder (though apparently Oakland, to the west, is not red—all those rich globalists in Birmingham and Bloomfield, I suppose).

Actually, it's pronounced "mill-e-wah-que" which is Algonquin for "the good land."
