Kamala Harris slams hecklers, tells them to go to 'smaller' Trump rally

At a rally in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Vice President Kamala Harris delivered some quick-witted humor aimed at a group of hecklers, comparing their rowdy presence to a much smaller crowd they might have been looking for.

During her speech on Thursday, October 17, a few protesters interrupted the Democratic presidential nominee. While it was unclear what they were shouting, Harris swiftly silenced them with humor. "You're at the wrong rally," she quipped, earning laughter and applause from her supporters.

As the audience continued to cheer, Harris waved toward the hecklers and added, "I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street," drawing even louder applause from the crowd.

This jab alluded to an ongoing debate over crowd sizes between Harris and former President Donald Trump, who has frequently claimed his events draw larger turnouts. 

The playful exchange has sparked discussions about crowd sizes on the campaign trail, even prompting former President Barack Obama to chime in with some humorous, not-so-family-friendly commentary.

While Harris was speaking in Wisconsin, Trump was reportedly in New York, and fellow Republican J.D. Vance was holding an event in Pennsylvania, leaving Harris as the sole major figure in the state at the time.

Wisconsin remains a critical battleground in the upcoming presidential election. President Joe Biden narrowly won the state's 10 electoral votes in 2020, while Trump secured it in 2016, making it a pivotal state to watch in 2024.
