Several attendees at Vice President Kamala Harris’s “extremely hot” campaign rally in Chandler, Arizona on Thursday passed out and threw up as a result of the heat.
“It is extremely hot inside Harris’s Chandler rally,” reported Washington Post campaign reporter Dylan Wells. “Lots of calls for medics as attendees pass out, and a supporter throwing up near the press pen.”
Before the event began, supporters of Harris could be seen lining up outside in more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit heat.
Inside the rally, footage showed attendees frantically fanning themselves with papers and other items as they waited for Harris to take the stage.
Attendees could still be seen fanning themselves by the time the rally was over.
According to Daily Wire investigative journalist Spencer Lindquist, “Several attendees had to be escorted out by medics during the rally and appeared to be suffering from heatstroke or dehydration,” as the temperature in Chandler reached a height of 103 degrees.
The Arizona Republic reported that Harris volunteers “walked around with cases of water for rally-goers and checked to see if they needed any medical attention, although most in line were unbothered by the heat as they made their way relatively quickly through the queue.”
