Such impressive numbers have been common at Donald Trump campaign events. Harris filled a 10,000-capacity arena last weekend in Atlanta, Georgia, her first major rally since becoming the Democratic presumptive nominee. Four days later Trump rallied at the same venue, with a similar-size crowd, and immediately attacked "Crazy Kamala" and her "lots of empty seats." "Now that Harris is speaking to large crowds that rival or exceed Trump's, this rationale for believing Trump is the advantaged candidate disappears," Burden added. But on Wednesday Harris took a page straight from Trump's campaign playbook, by rolling up to her own Detroit rally aboard Air Force Two, the vice-presidential jet.
