(CBS4) – A political rally featuring Doug Emhoff, husband of Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris, was held at dusk Thursday in a parking lot of Denver East High School. A stage was set up on one end of the lot and all of the attendees were inside their vehicles in order to prevent any spread of COVID.
"We're gonna win here in Colorado. We're gonna flip the Senate. We're gonna send @Hickenlooper to the US Senate. We're gonna send @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris to the White House and we are gonna take our country back!" – @DouglasEmhoff
What a night! LET'S GO! #BidenHarris #Vote pic.twitter.com/tAEfyYwFm6

It involved lots of honking among the relatively small number of people invited to attend.

We're going to win Colorado. We're going to beat Donald Trump and Cory Gardner. We're going to take back the Senate.
