While Kamala Harris had her name chanted by an electric crowd of 75,000 people at her rally, Donald Trump struggled to keep his audience's attention. The 78-year-old, who was corrected by his own devoted audience for a WW2 blunder and made multiple awkward blunders in Atlanta, was back campaigning in Allentown, Pennsylvania on Tuesday night. After being mocked for having supporters flooding out of his rallies, Trump was further humiliated by having the empty seats directly behind where he was standing.

(The arena of 8,500 is mostly full but there are chunks of empty seats in the second bowl.)" As Trump ranted about immigration, the economy and communism, his most devoted MAGA supporters started to lose attention.
A man stood directly behind Trump, in the line of the camera shot, was repeatedly seen staring at his phone. As Trump got into the second hour of his mammoth speech, large swathes of people started to leave and black seats grew and grew. He began his rally by saying: "Wow, what a crowd this is.
Incredible people. So many people outside, we'd like to let them in. Would anyone like to give up their seat?" Trump then claimed Harris had been forced to "bus people in," seemingly unaware that she was speaking to a giant crowd in Washington D.
C. "I didn't have top bus anybody," he cried. "This place is packed.
She can't get anybody."

Harris began her rally from the same site where Trump prompted the Capitol insurrection, promising to "put country above party and above self" in the closing argument of her campaign. "We know who Donald Trump is," she explained. "He is the person who stood at this very spot nearly four years ago and sent an armed mob to the US Capitol to overturn the will of the people in a free and fair election.
"An election he knew he lost. Americans died as a result of that attack." The Vice President used her address to pledge to Americans that she will work to improve their lives, while arguing that Trump is only in it for himself.
"So listen, one week from today you will have the chance to make the decision that directly impacts your lives, the life of your family and the future of this country we love," she said. "And it will probably be the most important vote you every cast. This election is more than just a choice between two parties and two candidates.
"It's whether we have a country rooted in freedom for every American or ruled by chaos and division.".
