Kamala HUMILIATED After Just Dozens Show Up For Major Rally
In what turned out to be a less-than-stellar turnout, Vice President Kamala Harris faced a paltry gathering of just a few hundred supporters at a major campaign rally in Raleigh, North Carolina. The event on Friday, which unfolded at Wake Tech Community College’s campus on Friday afternoon, saw about 250 people in attendance—a major visualization of dwindling enthusiasm.
The rally, kicking off around 2:30, was supposed to bolster support and energize voters, but instead spotlighted the challenges Harris faces as she tried to explain the economic policies under the Biden administration. Harris discussed the rising costs of living—an issue biting Americans hard—under her and Biden’s tenure.
“A loaf of bread costs 50% more today than it did before the pandemic,” Harris said. “Ground beef is up almost 50%.”
The visuals from Raleigh told a story of disconnection rather than engagement, with vast swathes of empty space reflecting a sobering reality for the Vice President’s campaign team. The low turnout is particularly notable, given North Carolina’s significance as a battleground state that can sway heavily in national elections.

Her speech concentrated on reducing living expenses and addressed several issues vital to the middle class, including tax relief and the costs associated with food, health care, and housing.
Harris has been attempting to distance herself from the Biden administration, which has been marred by high inflation and a public perception that conditions are deteriorating.

NEW: Kamala Harris shares how much prices have increased under her leadership with President Biden.
Not sure how this is a winning message.
The comments were made to a very small crowd in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Can someone please explain to me why Kamala continues to salute the military when getting on or off the plane?
She IS NOT the Commander In Chief.
She has not served in the military.
Am I missing something?
