Vice President Kamala Harris directed the audience and medical personnel during a dramatic moment during a rally when an attendee experienced a medical crisis during her speech.

Day two of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago started Monday night. They continued on Tuesday with speeches from former President Barack Obama, former First Lady Michelle Obama, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, and a host of other figures.

During the same period, Harris and his running mate, Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz, conducted a rally at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

When she was addressing the crowd, members of the audience flagged Harris of a medical emergency as the speech neared its conclusion.

Harris directed the medical personnel to the person in the crowd and then used the event to push her political message:

And that is how we fulfilled the promise of America. The promise of America. And it is that promise of America–. We need a medical assistant here. Okay. We need a nurse or we need a medic here, please. Let’s just make a– let’s make a path. Let’s make a path. If y’all don’t mind, just let’s make a path to right here. Let’s just create a path. Right here.

Let’s create a path, guys, and thanks for looking out each other. Look out for each other. But let’s let’s create a path for the medics. Okay. Okay. Okay. We’re going to be okay. We’re going to be okay.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

All right. This is who we are, right? This is what we’re about. Looking out for each other. The thing–. We care about each other.

(CHEERS).

You know, it’s about truly understanding what love thy neighbor means. It’s about, in the face of a perfect stranger, seeing a neighbor, understanding what that love of each other means. It’s a big difference between what we’re talking about and what’s on the other side.

WATCH:

Harris has been handed bad news from three different polls showing that she is losing support.

Democrats may suffer from the startling findings of a new study from Emerson College and The Hill in Wisconsin, one of the key swing states in the upcoming election.

As per this study, Harris has received 49% of the vote, while former President Donald Trump has slightly more than half, at 50%. A 1% gap may not seem like much to some, but Democrats are quite concerned about this trend.

In the identical survey conducted before the Democratic National Convention (DNC), Harris led Trump by 1%. For her, that’s a 2 percent dip, tipping the odds in Trump’s advantage. In Wisconsin, where racial disparities are extreme, even minor adjustments can have a significant impact.

The numbers are even more concerning given Emerson College’s polling history. Their most recent survey for 2020 gave Joe Biden a commanding 8 percent advantage. However, actual results revealed a much closer contest.

Biden led by a 7.4 percent, according to the poll. Should the trend in the current survey continue, the Democrats may be in for a major shock come election day.

Given that Wisconsin races are notoriously close, this shift might be the one that makes the difference. Harris’s team will need to move swiftly to reverse this negative trend if they hope to win in a state that has played a significant role in recent elections.

New surveys suggest that the ‘surge’ that Harris experienced following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from his reelection campaign last month is coming to a stop.

A recent Neapolitan Institute poll indicates that Trump is leading once more, matching the edge he had over Biden before the Democrats switched their support to Harris.

“In the race for the White House, Donald Trump leads Kamala Harris 46% to 45%. When leaners are included, the Napolitan News survey of 3,000 likely voters shows Trump ahead 49% to 47%. A week ago, the candidates were tied at 49% among Likely Voters,” the polling organization noted in a report on its findings.

“These numbers suggest that the initial Harris bounce is over. However, the core dynamics of the race remain unchanged. Love him or hate him, voters know what they think of Trump.

At this point, Kamala Harris remains largely unknown. That means events like the upcoming Democratic convention and presidential debates could have a bigger impact than usual.”

The organization stated that the presidential race remains too close to call at this stage. However, analysts have noted that in the past two elections, Trump has performed significantly better than his polling numbers suggested.

“Trump voters are slightly more likely to vote than Harris supporters. So, the former president does a bit better with a lower turnout. What’s especially amazing about this close race is that it’s quite plausible to envision either party winning a trifecta: control of the Presidency, the Senate, and the House. The most important race to determine Senate control is in Montana. The latest Napolitan News survey there shows Democrat Jon Tester with a narrow lead but the state’s political gravity is likely to boost Republican Tim Sheehy.
