Kamala Harris’s Detroit Rally Turns into a Chaotic Mess (VIDEO)
Kamala Harris’s rally in Detroit, Michigan, on Wednesday has been widely reported as a disaster, with thousands of attendees left stranded and chaos reigning supreme. The event, which was supposed to showcase Harris’s campaign energy and organization, instead ended in confusion and disarray.
Political scientist Josiah Lippincott, who was on the scene, described the aftermath as a scene of utter chaos. “Complete chaos after the Detroit Kamala rally. It has been 2.5 hours and people are still unable to find shuttles back to their cars. Campaign staff has no idea what is happening,” Lippincott tweeted. The rally was held near a UPS delivery center, leading to a mix-up with dozens of trucks complicating the shuttle service.

According to Lippincott, the situation was further exacerbated by confusion among campaign staff and a growing sense of frustration among rally-goers. “Tempers are high,” he added, highlighting the mounting frustration of those stuck without transportation.
The disorganization was so severe that a staff member reportedly broke down in tears. One of the distressed staffers even shared a troubling image on social media, illustrating the dangerous conditions faced during the debacle. “My bus was nearly in an accident,” the staffer posted, reflecting the chaotic state of the event.
Additional details reveal that the rally’s location was a major factor in the mess. Situated on a spur off the main road and surrounded by a jumble of freight trucks, the rally site proved challenging for buses and shuttles to navigate. “Add a bunch of freight trucks from UPS, confused campaign staff, and tired and hungry rally-goers, and you get complete chaos,” Lippincott explained in another tweet.
