How is crowd size at a rally a relevant data point for anything?
It tells you that he doesn't have the same base of enthusiastic supporters that Harris does. It's showing up in things like the turnout operations that the campaign has. Trump's turnout operation tricks people and threatens to strand them far from home because they can't get volunteers.
People who have already early voted may not care so much about going to a rally. Just speculating. Still, not sure crowd size at this stage correlates to any meaningful outcome.
If my experience is any guide, Harris weekday rallies are full of people who have already voted, and have been canvassing in the area. People don't go to one because they're expecting a reason to vote for her; they're going because it's a way to stay excited at times of day/week when people are less likely to answer the door.
Fair point.
