July 31:
Democratic candidate for president, Kamala Harris of California, has challenged Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, to a debate with her. On Tuesday, Harris delivered the remarks to a raucous audience in Georgia. According to The Hill, she criticized Trump for allegedly "pulling out" of the November debate, even though he had previously stated that he would "probably" debate Harris at the September debate.
Reposting a clip from her speech at a Georgia rally, Harris said, "Well, Donald, I do hope you'll rethink to meet me on the debate stage because, as the phrase goes, "If you've got something to say, tell it to my face." She shared the clip on X. As she spoke, the rallygoers erupted in applause. Kamala stated, "The momentum in this race is shifting and there are signs that Donald Trump is feeling it -- you may have noticed."
According to The Hill, Harris is touring Atlanta in an effort to capitalize on the surge of support she has received since announcing her candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination, as shown by the number of people signing up to volunteer and donate money. In 2020, US President Joe Biden won the state of Georgia by a razor-thin margin of less than 12,000 votes, and she made that fact clear.
Saying, "The path to the White House runs right through this state and you all helped us win in 2020, and we're going to do it again in 2024," she emphasized the significance of Georgia in US presidential elections. Indeed, we shall. If elected, Kamala Harris has promised to sign into law the bipartisan immigration bill that was negotiated in the Senate. She pointed out, "In this campaign, I will proudly put my record against his any day of the week." According to Harris, she actively pursued international criminal organizations, drug cartels, and people traffickers throughout her time as California's attorney general.
I was successful in prosecuting them case after case. The Hill reported that American rapper Quavo had spoken to the crowd before Kamala at the rally, and that Quavo had said, "Donald Trump, on the other hand, has been talking a big game about securing our border but he does not walk the walk." Kamala cited Quavo to make her point.
Following Trump's calls for Republican senators to oppose the bill—insinuating that it could hand Biden an election-year victory—she noted that Republicans in the Senate twice blocked its approval. The senator added, "Which goes to show, Donald Trump does not care about border security, he only cares about himself." It was said, "When I am president, I will work to actually solve the problem."
If she were to become president of the United States, she promised to reinstate the border security measure. According to her, "As President I will bring back the border security bill that Donald Trump killed, and I will sign it into law and show Donald Trump what real leadership looks like." A new video on the border was posted earlier on Tuesday by the Harris campaign. It slams Trump for his ad that dubbed Harris the "border czar" of the Biden administration, a reference to her efforts to address the underlying reasons of migration in the Northern Triangle region.
During her speech to the Atlanta crowd, Harris stated that "prices are still too high" and outlined her plans to bring them down. She promised that "on Day One," she would put measures in place to curb price gouging, limit "unfair" rent increases, eliminate hidden fees, and fix the national prescription drug price cap.
Further, she pledged to enact voting rights legislation, such as the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, if elected president. Following the 2021 passage of a legislation prohibiting, among other limitations, the delivery of food or water to voters waiting to vote, Governor Brian Kemp (R) of Georgia continued to make Georgia a focal point for contentious election laws.
Before Harris took the stage, two well-known rappers, Quavo and Megan Thee Stallion, encouraged the crowd to turn out in November. The Hill reports that Grammy-winning rapper Megan Thee Stallion performed a medley of her most popular tracks. In an effort to reduce gun violence, Quavo revealed that he and Harris had collaborated before. He added, "One thing I learned about working with vice president is she always stands on business."
