Barry Burden, a professor of politics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, suggested that Harris’ ability to draw large crowds would benefit her in the 2024 race. “It has been a point of pride among Trump’s supporters that his rallies have attracted much larger crowds than did Biden in 2020 or Clinton in 2016,” Burden told Agence France-Presse. He added, “Now that Harris is speaking to large crowds that rival or exceed Trump’s, this rationale for believing Trump is the advantaged candidate disappears.”
