    Yikes…

    Several attendees at Vice President Kamala Harris’s “extremely hot” campaign rally in Chandler, Arizona on Thursday passed out and threw up as a result of the heat.

    “It is extremely hot inside Harris’s Chandler rally,” reported Washington Post campaign reporter Dylan Wells. “Lots of calls for medics as attendees pass out, and a supporter throwing up near the press pen.”

    Before the event began, supporters of Harris could be seen lining up outside in more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit heat.

    Inside the rally, footage showed attendees frantically fanning themselves with papers and other items as they waited for Harris to take the stage.

    According to Daily Wire investigative journalist Spencer Lindquist, “Several attendees had to be escorted out by medics during the rally and appeared to be suffering from heatstroke or dehydration,” as the temperature in Chandler reached a height of 103 degrees.

    The Arizona Republic reported that Harris volunteers “walked around with cases of water for rally-goers and checked to see if they needed any medical attention, although most in line were unbothered by the heat as they made their way relatively quickly through the queue.”

    The disastrous night shows a stark comparison from an outdoor Trump rally over the summer in which attendees also waited in blistering heat.

    The event at the North Carolina Aviation Museum & Hall of Fame in Asheboro, marked the Republican presidential candidate’s first outdoor event since a would-be assassin shot and wounded him at rally in Butler, Pennsylvania earlier this year.

    A woman apparently had passed out in the stands, perhaps due to heat exposure, and Trump left the stage, where he was surrounded by bulletproof glass, to check on her.

    Emergency medical personnel were treating the woman, who looked red in the face. She was conscious at that point and holding a bottle of water.

    Trump gave her a hug, and she seemed very pleased to meet him.

    There had been calls for a medic from the crowd, which Trump had acknowledged from the stage, asking for “a doctor, please.”

    “It is very hot here,” he said.
