“'If Mr. Trump had looked up from his teleprompter at any point during the second half of his 90-minute speech, he would have seen his own supporters slipping out of their bright blue seats, headed for the exits,' The New York Times reported today. 'Slowly but surely, across every stand and in every section, they streamed out. Stage left, a man in a star-spangled cowboy hat sidled down his row at the halfway mark.'"

"The fact that Trump began his speech more than an hour late on a day that temperatures in Atlanta exceeded 90 degrees might have sent some people packing, but you didn’t hear that from Trump."

Trump's crowds aren't as big as Kamala's because he doesn't have a guitar.Lucian K. Truscott IV (Lucian Truscott Newsletter)
As Dean Obediallah notes, the difference between Harris' and Trump's Atlanta rallies was night and day:
"The Harris rally—packed with more than 10,000 people—was filled with people who were 'overwhelmingly young, women and a majority of people of color' as Axios reported."
"Trump’s audience was 'overwhelmingly white' per Axios and was far older."

"Trump thought standing next to Joe Biden made him look young — or at least young enough. Debating Joe Biden made him sound coherent — or at least coherent enough. Sparring with Joe Biden made him seem energetic — or at least energetic enough.
The side-by-side comparison with Kamala Harris is different. She is young, eloquent, and dynamic. Standing next to Kamala Harris, Trump will look well past his expiration date."

Her heart racing as she stared at the page, Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly freaked out Wednesday after seeing her LinkedIn profile had received more than 30 views this week. “What the hell? I’m blowing up!” said Harris, who is believed to have been unnerved by the unprecedented spike in notifications, a development that was particularly surprising to her considering she had not updated the page in at least two years.
