‘We Need a Medic’: Kamala Says During Crisis At Rally In Dramatic Video

Vice President Kamala Harris was involved in a tense moment during a rally when a member of the audience encountered a medical emergency during her address. Harris responded swiftly, directing medical personnel to assist the individual.

The Democratic National Convention (DNC) kicked off its second day on Monday night in Chicago, continuing into Tuesday with speeches from prominent figures like former President Barack Obama, former First Lady Michelle Obama, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, and others. Meanwhile, Harris and Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz held a separate rally at Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum.

As Harris neared the end of her speech, she was alerted to the medical emergency by the crowd. She immediately called for medical assistance, calmly instructing:

"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."

Encouraging the crowd to help, she added:

"Let’s create a path, guys, and thanks for looking out for each other. Look out for each other. But 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)

"This is who we are, right? This is what we’re about. Looking out for each other. The thing—. We care about each other," Harris continued, as the crowd cheered.

She then emphasized the values of community and compassion:

"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."

Meanwhile, Harris has faced challenges in the polls. Recent surveys have shown a decline in her support, with some putting her behind former President Donald Trump in key battlegrounds.

Two polls from Pennsylvania—conducted by Cygnal and Emerson College—show Trump leading Harris by a narrow margin. Both polls indicate Trump has a one-point advantage in the state, which holds 19 Electoral College votes. Another national poll by Napolitan News Service also gives Trump a slight edge.

Harris initially enjoyed a surge in support after President Joe Biden exited the race and endorsed her in July. Early polling showed her outperforming Trump in several surveys, making her the Democratic frontrunner. However, more recent polling has indicated a tightening race.

A Napolitan News Service survey conducted between August 12 and 14, reported by Newsweek, found that "Trump led Harris by 46 percent to 45 percent. When undecided voters leaning one way were included, Trump’s margin increased to 49 percent against 47 percent."

Cygnal's poll of 800 likely voters in Pennsylvania, conducted from August 14 to 15, revealed 44 percent of respondents would back Trump in a hypothetical race against Harris, while 43 percent supported Harris, and 5 percent favored independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

In Pennsylvania, an Emerson College poll from August 13 to 14 surveyed 1,000 voters for RealClearPolitics, also finding a tight race, with Trump leading Harris by one point, 49% to 48%. When undecided voters leaning toward a candidate were factored in, Trump's lead increased to 51% over Harris's 49%. When Kennedy was included in the race, Harris and Trump were tied at 47%, with Kennedy garnering 3%.

The data also revealed generational divides: younger voters (under 40) preferred Harris by a margin of 61% to 36%, while Trump dominated among voters aged 50 to 69, securing 57%. Religious demographics showed Trump leading significantly among Protestant voters (58% to 40%) and Catholic voters (60% to 39%). Atheists and agnostics overwhelmingly supported Harris (84% to 13%).

In a separate poll conducted for DailyMail.com, Trump led Harris by two points. The poll found that "43 percent would vote for Trump if the election were held today, compared to 41 percent for Harris."
