    “Harris headlined a jam-packed event, attended by around 23,000 people in Clarkston, Georgia, on Thursday night, beating out her campaign’s previous attendance record of about 17,000 in Greensboro, North Carolina, last month.”

    That really isn’t anything to brag about.

    Bernie Sanders 2015 - 19,000 people inside the arena, 9,000 lined up outside unable to get in, and that was still in the primary.

    Barack Obama 2008, 75,000. Still the primary.

      You know who also had huge crowds? Bernie Sanders, it did not bring enough people out to vote. So please fucking vote! Vote like our lives depend on it because they fucking do. If Trump wins America is done for it will be the end.

    If it was really a Beyonce concert, then it appears Beyonce fans all support Harris for president? Because I don’t usually see that type of banner/headwear at music concerts. So congrats, republicans, at getting 30,000 people at a Beyonce concert to rally behind the Democrats… in Texas.

      Bernie would have taxed and regulated the media and it’s owners. The coverage disparity is intentional.

        What we need is a president to pull a bait and switch. Gotta play the long game though.

        Kamala got so many donations she literally can’t spend it all before election day. Next best thing? Get more democrats elected at the state level so we can get good bills actually passed.

        Maybe then we can start fixing shit.

    Trump, who frequently touts his rally crowd sizes and has claimed without evidence that Harris uses artificial intelligence to boost her crowd numbers, was also in Texas on Friday. He reportedly spoke to a far more modest crowd of around 100 supporters in Austin before recording a podcast interview with Joe Rogan.

    Newsweek - News Source Context (Click to view Full Report)

    Information for Newsweek:

    Wiki: reliable - There is consensus that articles from Newsweek pre-2013 are generally reliable for news covered during that time. In 2011, Newsweek was a reputable magazine with only some minor problems while it was owned by The Newsweek Daily Beast Company (which also owned The Daily Beast). Blogs under Newsweek, including The Gaggle, should be handled with the WP:NEWSBLOG policy. See also: Newsweek (2013–present).
    Wiki: mixed - Unlike articles before 2013, Newsweek articles since 2013 are not generally reliable. From 2013 to 2018, Newsweek was owned and operated by IBT Media, the parent company of International Business Times. IBT Media introduced a number of bad practices to the once reputable magazine and mainly focused on clickbait headlines over quality journalism. Its current relationship with IBT Media is unclear, and Newsweek’s quality has not returned to its status prior to the 2013 purchase. Many editors have noted that there are several exceptions to this standard, so consensus is to evaluate Newsweek content on a case-by-case basis. In addition, as of April 2024, Newsweek has disclosed that they make use of AI assistance to write articles. See also: Newsweek (pre-2013).
