At a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris in Houston, several attendees suffered heat-related issues while waiting in line, with reports of multiple people fainting. The event, which featured celebrity guests such as Beyoncé and Willie Nelson, attracted over 1.5 million sign-ups and was held at Shell Energy Stadium, which has a capacity of 20,656. Emergency medical services responded to treat at least four to five individuals for heat exhaustion shortly after they collapsed. The Houston Police Department distributed water and cold packs to help mitigate the effects of the heat, as temperatures reached the mid-to-upper 80s. Harris' rally focused on the implications of Texas' strict abortion laws following the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, aiming to galvanize voters just 11 days before Election Day. The event's first-come, first-served entry policy drew large crowds, with many arriving as early as noon for a 3 p.m. start.
