Harris and Walz whip up crowd at packed Phoenix rally – but ‘we are the underdog’

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz rallied a packed arena outside Phoenix, Arizona, on Friday – drawing perhaps the largest Democratic crowd of the election cycle this year.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, her running mate and the local leaders who joined them on stage whipped up the crowd, discussing immigration, abortion rights and Indigenous sovereignty.

Noting the Indigenous leaders in the room, Harris also said: “I will always honor tribal sovereignty and respect tribal self-determination.” Indigenous voters are credited with helping deliver Arizona to Joe Biden in 2020; the state is home to 22 federally recognized tribes.

At one point during her speech, Harris was interrupted by protesters chanting “free, free Palestine” and other messages in support of Gaza. She stopped her speech to address the protesters.

“We’re here to fight for our democracy, which includes respecting the voices that I think we are hearing from. Let me just speak to that for a moment and then I’ll get back to the business at hand,” she said. “I have been clear: now is the time to get a ceasefire deal and get the hostage deal done. Now is the time. And the president and I are working around the clock every day to get that ceasefire deal done and bring the hostages home.” Her statement represented a noticeable change in tone from her approach to Gaza protesters in Detroit on Thursday.

Obama knows how to cheat on elections, they have it down to a science.

First, they will have to create an illusion of popularity with Harris in order to rationalize the phony landslide victory they create by stuffing ballot boxes in key battleground states.

Obama has organized "the largest civilian force in US history" they are experts at massive voter fraud and have the full backing and support of the FBI and DOJ and it looks like the evil Kamela is their puppet of choice

I wish the newby’s would just go away. You really don’t have the history quite yet especially when others have been here longer.

I think Madame Mixed-brain Salad must have conflated “dog” and “underwear” and it came out “underdog.” She has such a way with words.

“And the president and I are working around the clock every day” Hasn’t Chomo Joe been on vacation all week? It is as if he has vanished completely. I am sure he is signing some devastating EOs to ensure the cackler wins.

The Democrats have all five seats in Congress and both Senators.

Fortunately for the rest of country we lost a seat in Congress (used to have six) due to folks leaving the state for warmer and lower tax states.

I was getting ready to make the pitch to my wife to leave when we retired—and I had crunched all the numbers and it made sense.

But—about that time the Democrat state legislature panicked with numbers showing well to do retirees fleeing the state and they did something very unthinkable for Democrats—they lowered the income tax on social security to almost nothing.

Then when I re-crunched the numbers the move was pretty much a wash—and we like the small town we live in—so we stayed put.

Harris and Walz took the stage at the Desert Diamond Arena, a venue that can hold 20,000 people. Although official estimates are not yet available, the Harris campaign confirmed that more than 15,000 people attended the Phoenix rally. …
So the Grauniad can’t confirm what the Harris campaign is asserting? No other MSM outlets can either? Proof by assertion.

Some people DESERVE to be underdogs, the beta version. The alpha dog, Donald J. Trump, is beating them like a rented mule. Whether this converts into enough votes to overwhelm the fraud that is being cooked up, is still open to question.

The distance-and-direction of the urination contest now being mounted by the “Que mala” Harris/”Gov’ner” Tim Walz, on inflicting the term of “weird” on just about all aspects of MAGA and those who practice its precepts, is falling flat with most of the public. It sounds good in front of the crowd, and gets plenty of play in the sycophant media, but in the end, just dulls the impact over time. The implied insult just loses its thrust.

People have said that’s a fake image and posted the same thing except it was advertising for pro-Trump rallys.

Only a fool will believe Trafalgar, they have a horrible track record. They’ve been off by 30 points in some races.

Some are protesters. Then, many are hired to be there.

As this was in the middle of a workday, I suspect many were union, vacationing union teachers, maybe others. I don’t see her being a crowd magnet like Trump.
