What kind do you want?
A power (and water) outage last night after a long afternoon of canvassing (plus a visit from the neighborhood black bear) has me catching up this morning. I haven’t had time to watch the Kamala Harris rally in Atlanta from last night now that power’s restored. Just sayin’.
Apparently, Harris had the kind of to-the-rafters crowd Donald Trump lies about drawing.
Rev. Warnock did some preaching. Those years of Republican voter fraud allegations about “them” stealing your vote? Warnock reminds Georgians that a “Florida Man” occupying the Oval Office actually tried to steal theirs in 2020. It’s on tape. And he’s been indicted.
VP Kamala Harris received a “modest” welcome at the Georgia State University Convocation Center.
Harris laid out the stakes.
Really? What kind of future do you want? Those are the stakes.
Vice President Kamala Harris drew her largest crowd yet as her party’s nominee during a boisterous rally in Atlanta where she contrasted her prosecutorial background with Donald Trump’s criminal record, quoted a hip-hop star and vowed to recapture Georgia.
The event put her nascent campaign’s surge of enthusiasm on display, as thousands packed a downtown arena for an only-in-Atlanta mix of fiery political stump speeches and a high-energy hip-hop performance.
It was the biggest Democratic rally of the campaign cycle to date, according to Harris campaign officials, drawing thousands of supporters from metro Atlanta and beyond who cheered performances by Megan Thee Stallion and Quavo.
The crowd roared in approval as Harris promised the “path to the White House runs right through this state” and outlined her past roles as a San Francisco district attorney and top law enforcement official for California.
”In these roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds,” she said, nodding to Trump’s felony conviction on New York charges involving hush money payments to a porn star. “So hear me when I say I know Donald Trump’s type.”
Here’s the speech I haven’t watched yet.
