Kamala Harris’ rallies appear to be attracting the same supporters, according to a data expert.
The Vice President is on a whistlestop tour of the United States as she seeks friendly faces to join her campaign. Her reluctance to do interviews [1] – she’s averaged one every 20 days since Joe Biden’s decision to stand down – has meant rallies are a particularly key tool in sharing her message for change from the current administration in which she is second-in-command.
Rallies are effective in delivering remarks to a welcoming audience. However, it appears her audience may be a little bit too loyal if GPS data is considered.
Of the 5,003 mobile devices at her post-debate rally [2] in North Carolina, 3,600 originated from Georgia. The majority were from Atlanta, while just under one-sixth were from Savannah.
Data expert Tony Seruga shed further analysis on this trend; of the 5,000 mobile phones present at the Charlotte rally, around 90% have attended three others so far this campaign. More than half (54%) were even at rallies in Arizona and Nevada.
