CLARKSTON, Ga. ― A DJ spun banger after banger. President Barack Obama warmed up the crowd. Rock legend Bruce Springsteen crooned on the guitar. And Kamala Harris played lead vocals at a packed college football field in the Atlanta suburbs on Thursday, firing up thousands of people into a joyous frenzy just days before the November presidential election in one of the country’s most crucial swing states.
Still, the celebrity-filled rally shows how Democrats, in the closing weeks of an ultra-tight presidential race where Georgia and six other states remain up for grabs, are trying to counter Trump’s raucous rallies in a way they simply did not in 2020, when they had an older candidate in now-President Joe Biden, and many liberal voters were wary of the coronavirus pandemic and did not want to gather in large crowds.It wasn’t all fun at Harris’ rally on Thursday, however.
“He has become increasingly unhinged,” she added. “Last time at least there were people around him who could control him. They’re not with him this time. Just this week America heard from John Kelly, a retired general who was Trump’s chief of staff, who said that as president, Trump praised Hitler. That Trump said Hitler ‘did some good things.’”
The former president questioned Trump’s competence as he did at a rally for Harris in Madison, Wisconsin, earlier this week, where he mocked his successor for swaying at his musical town hall in Pennsylvania. “You’d be worried if grandpa was acting like this,” Obama said Thursday.Thank you for your past contribution to HuffPost.
