In Miami, Harris used the unique set-up that the Democrats have been using to prevent the spread of COVID-19, taking a page from old school drive-in movie theaters,to her advantage - using the car horns for call-and-response.
'Honk if you know somebody with diabetes,' she said, as she made the argument that she and Democratic nominee Joe Biden would protect Americans with pre-existing conditions.
When supporters started honking at her reference of the late Rep. John Lewis, she chimed in, 'I know he hears you. I know he hears you.'
The honks grew the loudest when she talked about 'Black Lives Matter' and reuniting the migrant kids, who were separated from their parents due to a Trump administration policy, with their families.
Prior to the California senator's arrival, the rally site had turned into a Halloween morning dance party.
Sergeant First Class Paul Cruz, who introduced Harris, spelled it out, 'It's not just a city, it's a vibe.'
'And that's why Sen. Harris is back here in the 305,' he said, name-dropping the area's famous area code.
Fat Joe, the politically active rapper, was a surprise guest.
'Everybody needs to get out there and vote,' he told the crowd.
'Let me tell you what happened four years ago, the media was saying that Hillary Clinton was winning by a landslide. And so people who would've voted said, "Why should I go vote, Donald Trump's not going to win,"' the rapper said. 'Don't believe the polls, don't believe nothing nobody says.
'You've got to go out there and vote,' he repeated.

'We love her, we support her, we’re going to be voting like mad.'
