Vice President Kamala Harris has a lot to say about former President Donald Trump’s rallies.
But when she tries to host rallies, she not only doesn’t get the same numbers as Trump, but she can’t get the right staff to make them run smoothly.
One recent event was so poorly planned that the extreme heat and lack of appropriate assistance from medical professionals meant that people started to throw up.
Here’s what happened.
At a glance:
- Several attendees at Vice President Kamala Harris’s rally in Chandler, Arizona, suffered from heat-related illnesses, with some passing out or vomiting due to the extreme heat.
- The temperature in Chandler reached over 100°F, leading to calls for medics and concerns about dehydration and heatstroke.
- Harris supporters lined up in the heat, and volunteers distributed water to help manage the situation.
- Despite the heat, rally-goers remained enthusiastic about Harris, with many expressing excitement over her campaign and leadership.
At a campaign rally in Chandler, Arizona, Vice President Kamala Harris’s supporters faced extreme heat conditions, leading to multiple attendees experiencing heat-related illnesses. As temperatures soared to over 100°F, several people passed out, vomited, and required medical attention during the rally. According to reports, medics were called as rally-goers struggled to manage the intense heat inside the venue.
Footage showed supporters fanning themselves with papers and other items, trying to stay cool while waiting for Harris to take the stage. Despite the difficult conditions, volunteers walked around offering water and checking on attendees, ensuring those affected by the heat were treated.

While some attendees needed to be escorted out due to heat exhaustion or dehydration, others, like a 55-year-old gay Latino supporter, remained excited to see the vice president, stating that her message resonates deeply with their beliefs.
Surely if they knew what the weather was going to be like, the Harris campaign should have made water bottles more easily accessible, no?
What about the medics? Could they not have made sure everyone stayed hydrated?
It’s called planning.
