Mapped: How Kamala Harris has faced more protests than Donald Trump

Vice president has attracted more demonstrations than Republican rival since she entered presidential race

Kamala Harris has had more protests targeting her than Donald Trump since she became the Democrat nominee, analysis by The Telegraph reveals.
Of the 147 protests that have taken place since Joe Biden left the race, 85 were organised in response to Ms Harris and her policies, while Trump has endured 56 protests. Six were aimed at both candidates.
Some 38 protests were staged by Trump supporters in opposition to Ms Harris’s campaign.
Another 38 were pro-Palestinian rallies condemning the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the Israel-Gaza conflict. Some demonstrators at those protests held up “Killer Kamala” placards.
The pro-Palestinian marches, which have drawn thousands, tended to be larger in size than the anti-Kamala marches.
There were 25 anti-Trump protests in which attendees opposed his candidacy and urged support for Ms Harris instead. Other protests targeted specific Trump policies, including immigration.
The figures cover the period from July 21 to Oct 11, the latest available statistics from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data. It collects information on conflict deaths and events, as well as political protests from across the world.
Ms Harris made headlines in early August when she confronted pro-Palestinian protesters. Protesters disrupter her speech in Detroit, Michigan, chanting “Kamala, Kamala, you can’t hide, we won’t vote for genocide”.
Ms Harris responded saying “If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking.”
On Aug 18, a peak of anti-Harris protests was reached around the time of the Democratic National Convention.
A peak of anti-Trump protests took place a week after the ABC Presidential Debate, held on Sept 10. Trump’s baseless claims about illegal immigrants from Haiti eating domestic pets in a small Ohio city caused outrage prompting protesters to descend on the streets of New York, Miami, Chicago, and Boston to demonstrate.
About 40 of the demonstrations against the candidates took place in swing states, particularly Pennsylvania where there have been 15 anti-Harris protests and 12 anti-Trump protest since July 21.
Ms Harris and Trump are locked in a tight race, one that may well come down to Pennsylvania. According to a Telegraph poll, Ms Harris currently leads Trump in Pennsylvania by just 0.39 per cent.
Since the vice-presidential candidates are part of the campaigns, protests explicitly targeting JD Vance and Tim Walz were included in the total.
In Radford, Virginia, for example, a group of 20 people gathered outside a JD Vance rally late July to protest his campaign’s stance on reproductive rights.
Trump supporters, in turn, protested near a Harris campaign event led by Mr Walz in bellwether county Erie, Pennsylvania in early September.
