4:06Now PlayingKamala Harris and Tim Walz have been crushing it on the rally scene this week, with crowds so massive that they’ve had to change venues just to accommodate more people. On the other side, JD Vance has been holding competing rallies during his creepy stalker phase, and he’s struggling to get anyone to come to his events. These competing rallies show the difference in enthusiasm and energy, and that’s a really bad sign for Trump. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

This week, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz embarked on their multi-state rally program, uh, campaign, whatever you want to call it, but it has been absolutely phenomenal, and there is no other way to describe it. They have now broken records with the size of their crowds. We have not seen crowds this big for any candidate, including the very disgruntled Donald Trump this cycle. In fact, when they showed up in Wisconsin, uh, this week, the line of cars waiting to get into the event three hours early was two miles long. It was at a dead standstill for two miles of people going to see them. In fact, there were so many people that showed up. They actually had to move the venue. They had to do it in an airplane hangar because the original choice did not have enough seating or room for everybody who wanted to show up.
They have had similar, you know, almost record breaking crowds in Michigan. Everywhere else they've gone, huge crowds. But another fun thing has happened while Harrison Walls have been out doing their tour. JD Vance has been doing counter rallies at the same time, or at least on the same day, uh, in the same state. And is JD Vance bringing in record breaking crowds speaking to throngs of enthusiastic supporters? No. In fact, JD Vance's performances have been so bad that I'm sure you've seen the images of them mocked on social media. For example, one of the times when he did a competing rally this week, uh, they had a big sign in the back that had Kamala, and then another word underneath it, I don't even know what the other word is, because they had people standing behind JD Vance blocking the second word. So the photographs of JD Vance have him speaking at a podium, and behind him it just says Kamala.
So it looked like he was actually campaigning for her. Then of course, there was another one he did, uh, in Wisconsin where the shots of it super tight, super close up. You could see some police officers behind him. But the reason they had it on that tight shot is because photographs of the event showed that he was speaking at a tiny little makeshift stage about the size of the desk I'm at right now, and there was virtually nobody there. So, JD Vance is speaking to empty seats while Harrison Walls are out there speaking to record breaking crowds. That is the enthusiasm gap between the two parties right now, and the enthusiasm gap is very important for voter turnout in November. And yes, Harris is new Walls is even
Newer. So maybe this continues, maybe it doesn't. Maybe it does die off a little bit, but right now, not looking like that's gonna happen. You know, the, the Harris momentum, the waltz momentum, whatever you want to call it right now, is huge and picking up steam. Meanwhile, j JD Vance and Donald Trump Trump's hiding away, sending Vance out there to do these idiotic rallies that are making him look like a complete creep and nothing is working for them. Everything, on the other hand, is working for Harris Walls. So things are looking great right now. They're looking bad if you're a Republican. But that's just the way things are because the momentum finally shifted, the enthusiasm finally shifted, and you can see that reflected in the crowd sizes at the comparative rallies this week.
