Vice President and 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris received a great deal of online attention after anti-war protesters sounded off during her rally in Phoenix, Arizona, loudly booing her as she tried giving one of her speeches. Far from the only booing incident to strike Kamala as of late, this one received much attention because it was part of a string of incident in which she was booed at her rallies.
As background, a great degree of attention regarding crowds booing Kamala came when things went less than great for Vice President Kamala Harris when, on Friday, October 25, her 2024 presidential campaign threw what was meant to be one of her biggest concert rallies to date. At such events, as the name suggests, a famous singer performs a free concert for the crowd to draw in more attendees than would otherwise show up to hear Kamala speak.
Beyonce was the performer who was to perform at the Friday rally. However, in bad news for Kamala, Beyonce didn’t give the fans a free concert performance. Instead, after stepping on stage at the Shell Energy Stadium in Houston, Texas, Beyonce merely gave a short speech before stalking off stage, disappointing the crowd. However, the crowd wasn’t just upset with Beyonce. It was also upset with Kamala, and crowd members loudly booed Kamala as she tried to speak, causing chaos. It appeared that it was both disappointed members of the crowd who booed as well as protesters there to boo Kamala anyway.
But that was far from the only incident in which Vice President Harris was loudly booed by the crowd. Another such incident, one that went viral online, occurred in Phoenix, Arizona, and appeared to be the work of anti-war protesters there to chastise Kamala for her support of Israel.
When booed, Kamala tried addressing the protesters and demonstrators, saying, “Hey guys, you know what? Here’s the thing ….” She continued, “Let’s talk for a moment about Gaza. We all want this war to end and to get the hostages out, and I will work on it full-time when I am elected president.”
Commenting on the incident when it occurred on the evening of Thursday, October 31, the “Bad Hombre” account on X (formerly Twitter) said, “Happening Now — All hell breaks loose again at Kamala rally in Phoenix where anti-war protestors are shouting and booing her. All 7 of Kamala’s latest events have been interrupted by protestors.”
Replying, one commenter said, “You can tell someone told her don’t look so angry… but inside she is furious!” Another wrote, “Kamala tries to stifle the protesters while yelling “Democracy can be complicated’. Democrats installed this bimbo which is the opposite of Democracy.”

Still another commenter questioned who possibly thought that Kamala was a good candidate, writing, “She is not a well liked person that was forced upon the nation in this election. Who in their right mind thought this would be a great idea 🤷🏼♂️” Similarly, another said, “Her campaign is going down in a ball of 🔥”
