Coach Walz addressed the huge overflow crowd at his NE rally

Doug Landry @dougblandry
The thousands overflowing outside Walz' event today:




Jeffrey Hahn @heffejeffe78 6h
Picture from the outside overflow area. The event space inside seats 2,500 people - it’s a little venue meant for small concerts. Campaign says they had over 10,000 ask to attend through the site.





JTD @JTDD7 6h
- lots of energy and joy at Coach Walz' Omaha rally. Looks like Coach's overflow crowd had more people than Trump's hate rally.





Barb Gilman @BarbInNebraska 6h
I was in the overflow crowd outside! 4 hours in the sun was worth it to hear @Tim_Walz talk about kindness, generosity, and the common good.





Mark van Roojen @van_Roojen 2h
And there was overflow out back with people still in line when Walz came on 4 hours after the doors opened. (Walz kindly came out and worked the outdoor crowd when the main even concluded.)

After his Nebraska rally, Tim Walz picked up a $600+ order worth of food at Runza



Aaron Pellish @aaronpellish
After his Nebraska rally, @Tim_Walz picked up a $600+ order worth of food at this Runza, a regional fast food chain.

“They probably ordered everything on the menu,” an employee told me.

Do you think JD Vance knows what a Runza is? He probably thinks it’s a hot pocket.

VP Harris found time to offer inspiring words to incoming freshmen outside an auditorium at Howard U. Aug. 12.

🪷 Madam Auntie VP Kamala Harris for PRESIDENT! @flywithkamala 4h
On Monday VP Kamala Harris started debate prep at Howard University, where she was a member of the debate team in college. She also took time to welcome the incoming Class of 2028.



Despite a busy campaign trail, Vice President Kamala Harris found time to return to her roots at Howard University, and offer inspiring words to incoming freshmen and their families outside of Cramton Auditorium on Aug. 12.

“I had freshmen orientation right here in Cramton where I met lifelong friends. You all are standing next to people who are going to be in your wedding,” Harris, an alumna of the institution, said proudly.





“You are receiving a superior education priming you to be leaders of our nation and in the world,” she told the crowd, before reflecting on her own experience. “Look what happened, you might be running for president of the United States.”

“The thing that Howard taught me is that you can do any collection of things, and not one thing to the exclusion of the other. You could be homecoming queen and valedictorian. There are no false choices at Howard,” VP Harris said.

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP 5h
Howard University helped shape everything I am today. It was wonderful to be back on campus this week and say hello to the incoming students who will be leaders of our nation and world.

Pickles, barbecue sauce, fig preserves, and Kamala in Raleigh, North Carolina




Madam Auntie VP Kamala Harris for PRESIDENT!
@flywithkamala 3h
VP Kamala Harris stopped at a local market with Governor Roy Cooper in Raleigh, specifically looking for pickles, barbecue sauce and fig preserves.

She’s specific and knows exactly what she wants!






Olga Nesterova @onestpress
From the VP pool report:

Motorcade arrived at Bayleaf Market in Raleigh. It’s a small art gallery and artisanal store next to a fire station and across from a gas station.

The VP went inside with Gov. Cooper and his daughter Hilary. They said hello to the store’s owner Courtney Pernell and chatted to her about her business.

Now the couchhumper has plane troubles, too?



WTFGOP @DogginTrump
Now this motherfucker has plane issues?

I keep telling you all, these clowns are broke. Dont be surprised when they start flying around in planes that have propellers






Cliff Schecter @cliffschecter
In all seriousness, w Vance's campaign plane making an emergency landing 1 wk after Trump's plane did the same...maybe they should spend less of what they raise on Trump's legal bills, more on airplane maintenance?



Vance comparing the size of his plane to AF2.
