On July 30, Vice President Kamala Harris held a rally in Atlanta, which attracted a whopping 10,000 residents. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, this was her largest crowd since she began her campaign. Harris had traveled to Georgia, a crucial battleground state, to rally its voters, particularly the Black community, and urge them not to overlook Donald Trump's criminal record. As a former prosecutor, Harris highlighted the stark contrast between herself and Trump, who had recently been convicted of a felony. In true Atlanta fashion, she even quoted Quavo, a former member of the popular hip-hop group Migos, who had previously spoken with Harris about reducing gun violence. Quavo was also present at the rally and showed his support for Harris.
During her speech, Harris emphasized the importance of Georgia in the upcoming election, declaring that the "path to the White House runs right through this state." She also addressed the issue of immigration, noting that Georgia has the fifth-largest number of people in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention, according to Governing. Harris promised to work towards reviving a bipartisan bill on illegal border crossings if elected as president. She also didn't hold back when criticizing Trump's lack of genuine concern for border security, stating that "Donald Trump doesn't care about border security. He only cares about himself. When I am president, I will work to actually solve the problem."
The rally ended on a high note with a performance by popular rapper Megan Thee Stallion, who fully endorsed Harris as a presidential hopeful. Georgia Senators Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff also made an appearance, urging their constituents to get out and vote. Warnock even called out Trump's attempts to steal their votes, while Ossoff reminded the audience that every vote counts.
To inspire liberal Georgians to turn their state blue again, former gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams took the stage as the final speaker. She reminded the crowd that they had already achieved this feat in the 2020 election when Joe Biden won the state. "We're not going back," Abrams declared, "because we dream bigger - and we dream better."
Harris also acknowledged the upcoming debate between herself and Trump, urging him not to back out. "Donald, I do hope you'll reconsider and meet me on the debate stage," she said, "because as the saying goes, 'If you got something to say, say it to my face.'" This statement was in response to Trump's attempts to "duck out" of the debate, as Harris had called him out earlier for trying to avoid facing her in a head-to-head discussion.
Overall, Harris's rally in Atlanta was a huge success, with thousands of residents showing their support for her and her campaign. With the help of influential figures like Megan Thee Stallion, Quavo, and Stacey Abrams, Harris is confident that she can win over Georgia and secure her place in the White House.
