A local news reporter appeared stunned and confused by the complete absence of supporters outside a Joe Biden campaign stop on Thursday afternoon in Phoenix, Arizona.

The video: “There’s really not much to see. I’ll step out of the way, but it’s kind of boring out here,” said Fox 10 correspondent Nicole Garcia as she gave viewers an unobstructed view of a quiet palm-tree-lined street with no sign of political activity.

  • “So, it’s not your typical presidential campaign event. We don’t see people rallying outside, we don’t see signs or really much of what’s going on.”
  • A clip of the broadcast has been viewed 3.7 million times on Twitter and earned mockery from supporters of President Donald Trump, including his son Eric Trump.

Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, and his running mate, California Sen. Kamala Harris, were kicking off their first 2020 visit to Arizona by paying their respects to American Indian veterans at the Heard Museum.

  • It was the pair’s first time campaigning together since August, and came on the same day as Vice President Mike Pence made his fourth visit to Arizona, a key battleground state.

“Like I said, you know, this is a huge event politically,” Garcia continued, reporting that she had only seen Biden staffers and reporters go into event.

  • “But you can’t tell by the outside of the Heard Museum. There’s really not a lot going on here.”
  • According to Garcia, local Biden staffers explained that they hadn’t publicized the time or location of the event in advance.

Although Biden is leading by double-digits in national polls, public displays of support point to an “enthusiasm gap” in Trump’s favor.
