KGUN 9 spoke with people who drove from as far as San Diego to see the former president speak.<\/p>\n<p>Former President Barack Obama rallied voters at the University of Arizona as his second stop in his campaign supporting Vice President Kamala Harris. <\/p>\n<p>This rally was his first formal visit to Tucson since 2011, just after the shooting that involved former U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords. <\/p>\n<p>Many were excited to see Barack Obama speak, including Sofia Reddy, a middle school student from Scottsdale. Her mother told KGUN 9 they had been waiting in line since 2:15 p.m., but were turned away once the event hit maximum capacity. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So we can&#8217;t get into the Obama rally which I missed my first-ever middle school dance for.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked why she wanted to see him speak, Reddy said, &#8220;Because I&#8217;m a really big fan and I watch all his other rallies and speeches and I was really excited to see him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Campaign officials estimated attendance at over 5,000. <\/p>\n<div class=\"RichTextModule\">\n<div class=\"RichTextModule-items\">\n<p>\u2014\u2014-<br \/><b><i>Reyna Preciado<\/i><\/b><i> is <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kgun9.com\/reyna-preciado\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">a reporter for KGUN 9<\/a>, she joined the KGUN 9 team in July of 2022 after graduating Arizona State University.
