On Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris held a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, as she attempts to flip the state in November to win the Tarheel State's 16 electoral votes. Outside the rally, however, footage showed multiple buses carrying supporters to the event, causing some to speculate on social media that local residents weren't populating the rally but instead from voters outside of the area.
"Video shows tons of buses outside Kamala's North Carolina rally," the X account Johnny MAGA wrote. "She's incapable of attracting a crowd without them." The Trump campaign also pointed out the use of buses, writing on X with an attached picture, "Another Kamala 'rally,' another fraud. President Trump doesn't need buses to attract people to his events."
President Trump brought up the use of buses at Harris rallies during the presidential debate on Tuesday, likely referencing claims made by his campaign that the Harris campaign bussed individuals into a rally in New Hampshire. "People don't go to her rallies. There's no reason to go, and the people that do go, she's busing them in and paying them to be there. And then show them in a different light. She can't talk about that," Trump said.
However, the Trump campaign's claims about the New Hampshire rally have been debunked by the busing company. According to The Granite Post, the general manager of the Yankee Line bus service, Michael Costa, explained that the supporters were being bussed from the venue from parking located at the Water Country Water Park.
"The event hosts simply secured the Water Country parking lot and then hired us to provide shuttle bus service in the parking lot to the event venue, just simply because there's parking space there," Costa said, adding that they were "just transporting people within the state of New Hampshire between the parking lot and the venue."
While it is unclear whether the buses used at the North Carolina rally were simply transporting supporters from parking to the venue or were actually moving people from outside the area, the use of buses isn't a good look for the Harris-Walz campaign. A Trump campaign rally in Arizona stood in stark contrast to the Harris event, with hundreds of Trump supporters waiting in line in anticipation of the 45th president's arrival.
