campaign rally
Candidate's public event
A campaign rally is a public gathering organized to generate enthusiasm and support for a political candidate or cause.
Candidates deliver speeches, introduce themselves to voters, and energize supporters who may volunteer or donate.
Rallies serve as media events and morale boosters: Thousands attended the campaign rally in Phoenix.
The format favors spectacle over substance—crowds, music, chanting, and memorable soundbites.
