Fantastic turnout for VP Harris in Harrisburg, PA, today — and the event is still hours away!








Justin Sweitzer @justin_sweitzer
People are starting to file into the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg for a Kamala Harris rally that will take place later this afternoon.

There are some pre-rally festivities, including a Harris-Walz swag truck, music, dancing and cornhole 🌽

What a special day! #HarrisInHarrisburg #HarrisWalz2024





🪷 Vote EARLY for Kamala Harris for PRESIDENT! @flywithkamala
While Kamala Harris rallies in Raleigh, NC, Harrisburg High School Marching Cougars perform as Kamala supporters enter the venue for her rally later this afternoon. All gas! ⛽️ ⛽️







Jack Stansbury 🇺🇸🦅💙 @stansburyj
Guess who is for Harris at her rally today in Harrisburg? Teamsters Local 776.









Sarah Boxer @Sarah_Boxer
Three out of these four friends awaiting Harris in Harrisburg today are voters in Lancaster, PA. Beth on the left tells me she’s of Irish descent but “We’re all Puerto Ricans today!”





Victor Shi @Victorshi2020
This isn’t a concert. It’s the scene of thousands of people gathering in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania right now for VP Kamala Harris’s rally. People are dancing & singing & having an amazing time. Pennsylvania is not going back.

And I don't think it has gotten any worse since yesterday, so I'm hopeful with the Paxlovid it will clear up at least semi quickly.

There is often a rebound after that course. Get some vitamin C and take melatonin at night if you have that around. C helps with blood vessel health, covid is a blood vessel disease and Melatonin helps with both immunity and inflammation.

...that is a huge amount of people.

Pa. brought out huge crowds early in the VP's campaign, as well.

Madison was her childhood home when she was very young.

I wanna see them march in the Inauguration Parade. In my dreams, they’d be led by Madame President, but I guess that’s a bit much to ask.

They have the Farm Show in there (I like watching the "sheep to shawl" event and tractor pulls) in January and all kinds of events throughout the year.



45 held an event in there this past July.

For perspective, Harrisburg, our state Capital, is about 112 miles west of Philly. Hershey, PA (and Hershey Park) is near there too, and I laughed about the irony of "the city named after her" before seeing your button pic.

..."let us be intentional about building community."

Right on. Such an important and rare appeal in the closing days of this or any campaign.

Thank you to the DU community for sharing these amazing rallies with me.

Now, on to Madison, Wisconsin for the last rally of the day!
