About 200 Wyoming Dems, in the reddest state in America, turn out to rally in support of Kamala Harris [View all]

Wyoming Democrats @WyoDems
In the reddest state in America, about 200 people turned out for a rally in support of Kamala Harris! We can feel the energy and we believe to our core- when we fight, we win! Are you ready to fight with us for a better Wyoming?

Trump’s private appearance in Wyoming was counterbalanced by a public rally supporting the presumptive Dem. presidential nominee Kamala Harris & her running mate Tim Walz.

About 200 people assembled on the Jackson Town Square on Friday evening to wave signs at passing motorists and pedestrians for about an hour.





Leslie Petersen, a longtime Democratic party member, office holder and activist in Teton County and Wyoming who attended the rally, said her party’s “return to joy” theme was not just a slogan.

Drive-by supporters honked horns regularly as they passed the rally, which took place in the heart of one of Wyoming’s few left-leaning communities. A group of about five Trump supporters briefly shouted their views from across the street. Rally goers reported at least one instance of being flipped off.
