The vice president laughed when comparing the size of the crowd she gathered in New York for her closing argument with the one that watched her rival’s speech.
Kamala Harris has ridiculed Donald Trump over his obsession with crowd sizes, breaking into laughter as she mentioned gathering 100,000 people at one of her recent campaign events in Washington, D.C.
Speaking during a rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Thursday, the Democratic candidate said: “You may have seen [that] I talked in Washington, D.C., the other day. You know, he likes to compare crowds. I had 100,000 people there.” As she mentioned the size of the crowd gathered to hear her talk, Harris broke into a chuckle.
Crowd size has become a big talking point in the 2024 election campaign, as the issue of just how many supporters each candidate is capable of gathering at their rallies seems to rile Trump—and Democrats enjoy teasing him about it.
During his speech at the Democratic National Convention in August, former president Barack Obama mocked Trump for his “weird obsession” with crowd sizes.
