2. And in the humid heat, no less

They know they're part of something historic.

[unc70]

6. Only in the 70s there today in Charlotte

Fairly warm but not brutally hot today.

[ms liberty]

36. It warm, muggy and overcast, but bearable for us natives

I'm not there, I'm about an hour up the road at home.

[Gaytano70]

3. Wish I was there!

Love seeing the crowds getting down to the sounds!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

4. I can see rows and rows of BUSES too!

[getagrip_already]

27. And campaign staff handing out evelopes full of cash!

Of course thats what maga will say.

[electric_blue68]

5. Ty!

[Traildogbob]

7. How much

Is she paying them? Or is it Soros? Are the buses electric?
Sarcasm obviously. But Dems in Charlotte are F’in pissed off after the asshole they voted for switched parties after being elected giving GQP a super majority in legislature.
Giving us bans on masks, and idiots like Robinson. And the worst gerrymandering in the nation as well as the JFK off the ballot shit after ballots were to be mailed out. Costing us millions, plus valuable time.
They are looking for a fierce leader to bring Democracy back to NC. It is time to end the Meadows, Cawthorn, V. Fox, Robinson shit that makes our state to look like ignorant fools.
I really hope the people in this state take this momentum and lay to waste the GQP criminals running this state. Plus showing unity and sharing passion they will get from VP Harris coming here at these rallies, can put a fire under those that fill hopeless to beat this mess we have devolved into. Her multiple trips here is about more than just getting people out for her, she can Inspire us to get out and literally take our state back from the paid off GQP puppets hell bent on us becoming an East coast Texas.

8. By any chance are you from NC 😂

Sorry, but you are so very impassioned thought I’d throw you some levity. However, after the list of things you all have had to put up with, I can’t say I blame you.

I really hope you are successful as it seems that without NC Trump’s chances of winning are extremely limited and we can all get behind that!

[Traildogbob]

10. Born and raised near Charlotte

After my military service moved to WNC. In district 11, since 1978. Home to Meadows and Cawthorn.

[ms liberty]

37. Lol, my sympathies - I'm in Virginia Foxx's district

Back in that last short lived redistricting a few years ago, I got moved into Patrick McHenry's district for a minute, and then they undid it and I got Virginnie back. Like it mattered so much

[Traildogbob]

38. 😵‍💫🥴😲😩😤

[brakester]

41. Foxx

sucks big time.
Time to kick the criminals out of Raleigh!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

11. Pray to the Lord that the Rev. Dr. William Barber remains a voice for North Carolina.

That man is a National Treasure doing the work of Jesus Christ here on Earth.

[Traildogbob]

13. He is a blessing.

A real hero.

[ancianita]

20. I love that man.

[bigtree]

17. Awesome pin.

[Maru Kitteh]

9. GAH. I was just in Charlotte on Monday! That would have been fun :-)

Oh well.

[Bird Lady]

12. I hope the orange creep is...

Seeing this and it causes him a bad day.

[bigtree]

18. Trump's in Tucson today

...his rally venue holds 2,195 people max.

[SunSeeker]

15. K & R

[NBachers]

16. The Secret Service, who I do not trust, needs to double the protection on Kamala and Walz.

[ancianita]

23. Agree. With increased, foreign paid chaos agents in the next 2 mos, there's no such thing as too much security.

They're called battleground states for more than one reason. If ANYTHING were to happen to Harris/Walz, Biden would investigate and overhaul the whole Secret Service.

[relayerbob]

19. Looks like she spent a lot of dough on her crowd today

[Bird Lady]

21. Bullshit

[relayerbob]

29. Hello? Sarcasm

[Bird Lady]

30. sorry I'm just tired of all the lies and crap

that we see daily. I'm getting combative and I missed the sarcasm completely. I'll try to do better.

[relayerbob]

33. I know, I"m sorry I sort of snapped back at you

This is getting very old. I can't wait to kick his orange ass to the curb in November

[Bird Lady]

34. I'm with you

Let's go beat the crap out of the orange monster.

[ailsagirl]

53. Let's not forget the sarcasm smilie

[relayerbob]

54. Honestly did not think it necessary, but will in the future

People's nerves are (reasonably) getting frayed

[SamKnause]

22. Looks like a fun time and great people.

[BaronChocula]

24. I can't wait for republicans

to try to pass laws forbidding DJs spinning for spectators waiting to get into a dope-ass rally.

[bigtree]

25. speakers already. Get in

...

[RandySF]

26. With MILLIONS waiting outside.

[nolabear]

28. I feel pretty good about NC lately.

It’s such a varied state. There are in fact many liberals in the Research Triangle and in the three college towns. They just have to register and vote!

[bigtree]

31. Grammy winner Anthony Hamilton took the stage

..two songs.

Nothing short of amazing. What a special moment of inspiration and joy!

[riversedge]

32. Jaime Harrison; 6m We are going to win in NC!.......

It will probably be a squeaker!!


............Despite this, Trump ultimately won North Carolina with a 49.93% plurality over Biden's 48.59% vote share (a margin of 1.34%). Trump also became the fourth-ever Republican to carry North Carolina without winning the presidency.

Russell Drew @RussOnPolitics
Packed house in Charlotte, North Carolina for Kamala Harris! Right out of the gate, she’s calling for another debate.

[Sogo]

42. That woman can inspire!!

I tear up listening to every one of her rallies....I'm so grateful we have her as our candidate!!

[bigtree]

[Tarheel_Dem]

50. I'm unable to stand for long periods, but I'm so disappointed that she was right next door in G'boro, and I couldn't...

be there.

[bigtree]

52. I mentioned you to my wife and wondered if you got a chance to see her

...was like, 'I wonder what happened to Tarheel Dem?'

They'll be back.

[Tarheel_Dem]

55. I would love to see them in person, but it's just not practical for me physically.

[bigtree]

57. I understand

...sorry to hear that.

Better days, TD!

[mucholderthandirt]

56. I can't stand, can barely walk, need the bathroom every hour and a half, and can't be squeezed into crowds.

I overheat under any condition, too. I'd have heatstroke and pass out, scare everybody to death. Including me!

So the only rallies I see are the pictures people post here, or what I find around on TV or the web. I surely wish I could have been in G'boro, though. I don't live that far away and it would have been awesome. My heart was there, though.

[Tarheel_Dem]

58. It can sometimes be depressing and overwhelming when I think of the things I can no longer do. But we'll get...

through this. Like you, "my heart was there". Heck, I can't even contribute/donate as I have in past campaigns because I have to pay someone for nearly everything in and around my home. Never thought I'd pay for lawn care in my retirement, but things don't always work out the way we think they should. Take care.

[Blue_Roses]

51. Nice!
