1st of all not a side by side comparison because shot facing the opposite side of the arena. Notice the red banners in the Trump pic not in the Harris pic.
Secondly in deep blue Philly (votes 90% donk surrounded by blue counties to boot). See the dark blue speck at the southeast corner? That’s Philly.
Thirdly that is Temple University’s basketball arena, the Liacouras Center. Temple University is in North Philly surrounded by GHETTO. One of the highest crime areas in a high crime city. If Philly has voted 90% donk, that is one of the neighborhoods that has probably voted like 99% donk. So if you could have a darker shade of blue, that would be where that rally was at.
I was scratching my head as to why Trump was going there, because he’s not going to fill that arena, because a lot of MAGA wasn’t going to go, so itnwasn’t going to look good. You can’t carry going to his rallies. I live 12-14 miles, 1/2 hr+ from the Liacouras Ctr, and I would rather have driven 60-65 miles, 1 1/4 hr to one of his red county rallies (which I did in 2020) than the North Philly hood. I’ll go to a rally in a blue area. Heck, my county since 2008 has voted blue. Just not in the hood.
If Harris couldn’t SIGNIFICANTLY outdraw Trump in Philly, esp the Temple area, that would mean she was in serious trouble in PA. Heck, lets see the flip side of the coin- Commiela & Tampon Tim have a rally in a deep red area of PA after one of Trump’s, and conpare crowd sizes lol.
