Kamala Harris Campaign Trolls Trump With Video of Empty Seats at His Rally

Vice President Kamala Harris‘ campaign trolled former President Donald Trump on Friday with a video of empty seats at his recent rally in Montana.

Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee in the upcoming election, drew large crowds to her campaign rally in Glendale, Arizona, on Friday night. Her campaign estimated there to be over 15,000 attendees, which is her largest crowd yet.

Last night, the vice president’s campaign shared a video of the roaring crowd when Harris walked on stage in Arizona on X, formerly Twitter. The post has received more than 1.5 million views as of Saturday morning.

In a follow-up post, Harris’ campaign showed a video of Trump’s rally in Bozeman, Montana, on Friday with many empty seats. Attendees remained seated and quiet, but this is to be expected given that they were waiting for other speakers to give remarks before Trump, the GOP presidential nominee, went on stage hours later. The follow-up post received more than 1.7 million views as of Saturday morning.

When the former president did start speaking on Friday night, his supporters behind him held up Trump signs and cheered.

Steven Cheung, Trump’s communications director, told Newsweek via email on Saturday morning: “The Kamala campaign—liars, frauds, and cowards.”

Newsweek reached out to Harris campaign via email on Saturday morning.

This is not the first time that Harris’ campaign has mocked Trump’s rally size.

On Tuesday, Harris’ campaign posted side-by-side photos of the vice president’s rally in Philadelphia at Temple University’s Liacouras Center that day and a Trump one at the same stadium back in June on Truth Social, the Republican challenger’s social-media platform.

In the photo of Harris’ rally, the arena was packed, while the top tier of the stadium was left vacant in the photo of Trump’s.

Harris’ campaign reported that 14,000 people attended the vice president’s rally in Philadelphia on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Trump drew in nearly 4,000 at his Philadelphia rally on June 22, according to the Daily Pennsylvanian.

Trump has claimed that the media has favored Harris when talking about big rally sizes.

“If Kamala has 1,000 people at a Rally, the Press goes ‘crazy,’ and talks about how ‘big’ it was – And she pays for her ‘Crowd.'” Trump said on Truth Social on Wednesday. “When I have a Rally, and 100,000 people show up, the Fake News doesn’t talk about it, THEY REFUSE TO MENTION CROWD SIZE. The Fake News is the Enemy of the People!”

Throughout the election season and before, Trump has boasted about the size of his rallies, often relying on unsubstantiated evidence or guesswork.

Newsweek has debunked previous claims that the former president made about attracting 60,000 people to a rally in Dayton, Ohio, in March 2024 and 50,000 people to an event in Pickens, South Carolina, in July 2023.
