People leaving while Trump is talking?
Looks like people are starting to trickle out of the Wilkes-Barre Trump rally as he goes past the hour mark. There appears to be more empty seats.

Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov says he got Cybertruck from Musk
Don't know if it is a true claim, but this should be investigated. What's next, Musk supplying arms to Russia?
Kadyrov said he received a Tesla Cybertrack from Elon Musk. He promised to send it to the "special military operation" zone and attached a machine gun to it.
"Elon, thank you! Come to Grozny, I will receive you as the most dear guest! I do not think that our Russian MFA will be against such a trip. And, of course, we are waiting for your new developments that will contribute to the completion of the SMO," Kadyrov wrote on his Telegram channel.

Judge rules against RFK Jr. in New York ballot case
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A judge ruled Monday that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. falsely claimed a New York residence on nominating petitions, invalidating the documents he needs to appear on the ballot in the state.
The ruling from Justice Christina Ryba after a short trial in state court is expected to be appealed.

Crowd capacities of Harris and Trump campaign locations tomorrow
Both Harris and Trump have campaign events tomorrow. Wouldn't it be a shame if crowd sizes made Trump angry? 
- Trump is in Bozeman, Montana
- Harris is in Glendale, Arizona
- Trump is at the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse, capacity 8,455
- Harris is at the Desert Diamond Arena, capacity 19,000
Of course we don't yet know how many people will show up at each.

Harris speaking to UAW today in Detroit, Michigan
Here is what I could find about today's event. It can be hard to find reliable info.
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are continuing their campaign blitz today with a scheduled address at an United Auto Workers event in Detroit following an energized rally in the city on Wednesday night.
Harris’s scheduled address before the UAW comes amid the union’s endorsement of her and Walz.

Josh Marshall: Harris got request for 47,000 tickets for rally tomorrow
Note this is for the rally tomorrow, not today's:
So a bit of background on what the Trump campaign is dealing with on the ground. At the end of last week the Harris campaign announced a campaign rally in Detroit for Aug 7th (tomorrow). Over 24 hrs (last Thursday into Friday) they got 47,000 requests for tickets. 47,000....
That spurred a multi-day search for a new venue that could handle the demand.

Statement from Josh Shapiro
He'll be at the rally tonight
My work here in Pennsylvania is far from finished — there is a lot more stuff I want to get done for our Commonwealth.
Over the next 90 days, I look forward to traveling all across the Commonwealth to unite Pennsylvanians behind my friends Kamala Harris and Tim Walz and defeat Donald Trump.
See you tonight in Philly.
