Yikes…
Several attendees at Vice President Kamala Harris’s “extremely hot” campaign rally in Chandler, Arizona on Thursday passed out and threw up as a result of the heat.
“It is extremely hot inside Harris’s Chandler rally,” reported Washington Post campaign reporter Dylan Wells. “Lots of calls for medics as attendees pass out, and a supporter throwing up near the press pen.”

Before the event began, supporters of Harris could be seen lining up outside in more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit heat.

Inside the rally, footage showed attendees frantically fanning themselves with papers and other items as they waited for Harris to take the stage.
Whoa. This is not a dance party. It’s the Kamala Harris rally in Chandler, Arizona, where thousands of people waited in 100+-degree weather to see Kamala Harris speak. Such an incredible crowd and amazing energy. pic.twitter.com/nM2uxCICPK

According to Daily Wire investigative journalist Spencer Lindquist, “Several attendees had to be escorted out by medics during the rally and appeared to be suffering from heatstroke or dehydration,” as the temperature in Chandler reached a height of 103 degrees.
The Arizona Republic reported that Harris volunteers “walked around with cases of water for rally-goers and checked to see if they needed any medical attention, although most in line were unbothered by the heat as they made their way relatively quickly through the queue.”
The disastrous night shows a stark comparison from an outdoor Trump rally over the summer in which attendees also waited in blistering heat.
The event at the North Carolina Aviation Museum & Hall of Fame in Asheboro, marked the Republican presidential candidate’s first outdoor event since a would-be assassin shot and wounded him at rally in Butler, Pennsylvania earlier this year.
A woman apparently had passed out in the stands, perhaps due to heat exposure, and Trump left the stage, where he was surrounded by bulletproof glass, to check on her.
Emergency medical personnel were treating the woman, who looked red in the face. She was conscious at that point and holding a bottle of water.
Former President Trump called for a doctor and then stepped out from behind bulletproof glass at his first outdoor rally in North Carolina since the assassination attempt to hug a supporter who had apparently fainted

Trump gave her a hug, and she seemed very pleased to meet him.
There had been calls for a medic from the crowd, which Trump had acknowledged from the stage, asking for “a doctor, please.”
“It is very hot here,” he said.

No way does Kamala draw this many people. The picture is either AI generated or the crowd is from something else.
Can Harris do it again at rallies??
Needed
Maybe they vomited from seeing Kamala?
I notice that the cameras didn’t show the seats behind the press row. I wonder how many empty seats are there. This has been a Harris pattern—crowd some people up front and then don’t show the empty seats in the back half of the venue.
