HUGE response for Kamala Harris as she takes the stage in Atlanta. Listen to this!

move over, Kid Rock

Kamala Harris in Georgia: "The path to the White House runs right through this state. And you all helped us win in 2020 and we're gonna do it again in 2024."

Harris: "I took on perpetrators of all kinds ... so hear me when I say I know Donald Trump's type."

Harris: "I went after transnational gangs, drug cartels, & human traffickers that came into our country illegally. I prosecuted them in case after case & won. Trump on the other hand has been talking a big game...as my friend Quavo would say, he does not walk it like he talks it"

Kamala Harris: "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."

Kamala Harris: "By many indicators our economy is the strongest in the world. But while inflation is down and wages are up, prices are still too high. You know it and I know it ... on day one i will take on price gouging and bring down costs."

Harris talks about Project 2025 and says, "we are not going back!" The crowd responds with big "We're not going back!" chants.

Kamala Harris: "Ours is a fight for the future. And it is a fight for freedom...the freedom of a woman to make decision about her own body & not have the government tell her what to do...generations of Americans before us led the fight for freedom. Now the baton is in our hands"

Harris: "We are the underdogs in this race. We are. But you see, this is a people-powered campaign. In fact, after I announced my candidacy, we saw the best week of grassroots fundraising in presidential history. So the momentum of this race is shifting."

Harris criticizes Trump for pulling out of the debate with her, then adds, "but he and his running mate seem to have a lot to say about me. And by the way, don't you find some of that stuff to be just plain weird? ... if you got something to say, say it to my face."

Harris wraps up her speech in Atlanta on a rousing note. I can't believe how good the vibes are compared to just a couple weeks ago. Man.
