30,000 Wisconsinites turned out to cheer on the 2024 ticket of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in tiny Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and the buzz is 50,000 more have RSVPed for tonight’s rally in Detroit. Meanwhile a lonely JD Vance, reduced to stalking the Democratic ticket while Trump plays golf in Bedminster, lands at the same airfield as Air Force 2 and harasses the VP. (Dude is weird).
First, news of the rally:
“Massive crowds line up for ‘miles’ to see Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in Wisconsin
People were seen lining up for miles on Wednesday to attend a rally in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, for Democratic nominees Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
An hour before Harris was expected to appear before a crowd of 30,000, would-be attendees shared photos of cars and people waiting to get into the venue.
“Cars are lining up for 2 miles more than 3 hours before Kamala Harris & Tim Walz are scheduled to speak in Eau Claire, Wisconsin,” one person explained on X.”
BREAKING: Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have filled their venue in Eau Claire, Wisconsin to the brim today, which is something Donald Trump has repeatedly failed to do. Retweet so all Americans see the energy and enthusiasm surrounding this campaign. pic.twitter.com/b5NrpZAH3Q

More from Eau Claire:
Holy cow. This is the line right now to see VP Kamala Harris & Gov. Tim Walz in Eau Claire, Wisconsin — an area that is represented by a Republican in Congress. This energy & enthusiasm are freaking jaw dropping.

The lines for Harris-Walz in Eau Claire just…keep going!
I’ve been saying it all week, but: I truly do not think it has yet dawned on Republicans they are up against the 2008-level enthusiasm among Democrats right now. Unreal. pic.twitter.com/LEJreqMT39

With traffic backed up a mile and a half in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, many attendees for the Harris-Walz rally decided to park their cars and walk…. Or run! pic.twitter.com/u167mFIyYw

Well, I’m at my first political rally since… Obama 2008, maybe? Good morning from scenic outside-of-Eau Claire, WI. Doors open in 15 min and I’m almost half a mile back in the line. pic.twitter.com/YwChBdUGjj

And Vance appears to be lost, wandering the tarmac…
Weirdo-in-Chief clearly looks lost. What an embarrassment to the Trump campaign, as an absent Donald Trump allows .@JDVance to aimlessly wonder around the tarmac proclaiming aircraft.
What another bizarre chapter.
Was there not any one else that the GOP could have picked?

It’s never going to be “your” plane or anyone else’s. It belongs to the people you loser.

Sorry, J.D., no couches on Air Force 2.

Kamala wisely wouldn’t have anything to do with the creeper, so he headed to his own rally…
"This Is What Democracy Looks like"
All Eyes on Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
The massive crowd is getting amped for #HarrisWalz2024
#JDVanceIsWeird speaks at Wollard International to tens of people who gave up their lunch break. Rumor is there were protesters for #JDVance & MAGA pic.twitter.com/e2k6IrGy42— Chris Borkowski (@cborkowski) August 7, 2024
“Tens” – on their lunch break 🤣🤣🤣
These poor people have been standing that that sad little warehouse podium for 30 minutes while JD Vance stalks Kamala Harris at the Eau Claire airport like a creep. pic.twitter.com/HFho9qWeVc

Probably cost him a couple of votes.
What a contrast. I hope someone is keeping the Mango Menace apprised, this would absolutely ruin an afternoon of golf.
I always thought the “idea” of having the Juvenile Delinquent follow Kamala and Tim around was creepy, and weird.
So nice to see Vance is living down to his billing.
Trump is playing golf with the election 3 months away?? I would bet he even delegated writing the insane posts on “Truth” Social to A.I., or to some flunky.
The conservative pundits who predicted a Trump win based on the enthusiasm at the GOP convention must be apoplectic by now.
the Repugs aren’t worrying cuz they have multiple plans to cheat. I hope the Dems are preparing for all their shenanigans.
There does appear to be somewhat of an enthusiasm gap between the two.
The sort of gap to be expected, and measured between the numbers ‘tens of thousands’ and ‘tens’.
