Harris rally line stretches for miles in Eau Claire

A line of cars stretched for miles past the venue down Tenth Avenue, with an Uber from 10 minutes away costing more than $118. Many decided to get out of their cars and walk at least half an hour to the rally.

Emily Wirth of Milwaukee said she waited more than 90 minutes in line and saw many cars turn around to leave.

“We got redirected a few times, it was definitely chaotic,” Wirth said, adding she was excited to hear from Harris and Walz regardless.

“Thinking about my extended family across the Midwest, I know that he [Walz] is going to be able to engage additional voters who might have been on the fence.”
