Doctors On Stage At Harris Rally Seem Confused During Medical Emergency

At a rally with Vice President Kamala Harris supporting “few restrictions on abortion,” several doctors with varying specialties appeared uncertain when an attendee experienced a medical emergency, as reports indicate.

While much of the media spotlight was on Beyoncé’s attendance, Harris also brought on stage several abortion doctors to discuss the impact of overturning Roe v. Wade. During Dr. Richard Todd Ivy’s speech, an OB/GYN, it became apparent that someone in the audience needed medical help, as noted by DailyMail.com.

Despite several doctors being present, no one immediately went to assist, leaving Dr. Ivy pointing out the individual’s need for help.

“I think someone needs some medical assistance over here,” Ivy said, indicating the attendee who was struggling.

After a brief pause, Ivy added, “They’re okay.”

In contrast, former President Donald Trump, at a rally earlier in the summer, personally stopped speaking to check on a woman suffering from apparent heat exhaustion.

Additionally, his running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, along with his wife, Usha, offered assistance to a woman dealing with a medical issue at his rally in Traverse City, Michigan.

Politico’s national correspondent Adam Wren shared, with a photo, on social media: “New: When @JDVance walked off stage in Traverse City, he saw a woman being treated at the medical tent. He and Usha went over to check on her and make sure she was alright, per source familiar. The woman is OK.”

Their gesture did not go unnoticed, with several users on social media praising the Vances for their compassion.

After discussing Trump’s plans for a potential second term, Vance ended his speech in northern Michigan with a rallying cry for early voting in the 2024 election.

“I’m a firm believer that we ought to have Election Day instead of election season. But it is what it is, my friends. We’ve got election season,” Vance said at the Northwestern Michigan Fair, as reported by the Detroit News. “It is here, at least for now, and so we’ve got to play by the rules, and we got to play to win.”

While not explicitly mentioning early or absentee voting, Vance emphasized the need to vote early to avoid disruptions due to unforeseen circumstances on Election Day.

This approach marks a shift from some previous Republican stances, including Trump’s, on early voting. It appears to be part of the Michigan GOP’s strategy to encourage participation among less frequent voters to bolster their chances in the critical 2024 election, the outlet reported.
