Vice President Kamala Harris turned on Atlanta at a campaign rally on Tuesday (July 30). From the GOP nominee challenge Donald Trump to “speak to (her) face” with debate to tap Megan Thee Stallion and Quavo for the appearance on stage, this is a summary of the political party!
Here’s What VP Kamala Harris’ Said About Trump At Atlanta Rally
According to the Associated Press, Vice President Kamala Harris told a packed, loud and boisterous Atlanta arena that the next 98 days will be a battle, but she will win in November. In addition, he mocked Donald Trump for doubting whether he would appear in the upcoming debate.
“The momentum in this race is changing,” the Democratic candidate said. “And there are signs Donald Trump is feeling it.”
Trump previously said he would debate Harris, but now questioned the value of the meeting and said he would “probably” debate him, but “could also make a case for not doing so.” In addition, Donald Trump has suggested that the September 10 debate on ABC News should be moved to a different network, calling ABC “fake news.”
“So he won’t debate me, but he and his friends have a lot to say about me. And by the way, don’t you find his stuff just weird. He added, “Well Donald… I hope you will consider again. Find me on the debate stage … because, as the saying goes, if you’ve got something to say, say it in front of me.”
In a state that gave Biden the narrowest margin of victory in 2020, Harris avoided an event that has become Trump’s signature: Large, loud rallies full of supporters cheering his name. While on stage, he was mocked by his rivals and his partner, JD Vance, as “just weird” and described the policy as backward, outdated, and dangerous.

VP Harris Discusses What’s Next in His Race to the White House
For context, Harris has not officially clinched the Democratic nomination. However, the Democratic National Committee announced on Tuesday that he was the only person qualified to run. This means he will definitely get it on Monday (August 5) when the party completes the virtual roll call vote.
He chose a running mate as well expected early next week. At the time, Harris planned to embark on a seven-stop tour of warring states to hold rallies alongside the vice presidential candidate.
Harris began Tuesday with a day as a prosecutor — setting a contrast between the law and Trump’s many legal problems and misdeeds. But he also aggressively defended Biden’s administration record and said he would work to enact voting rights laws and restore abortion rights stripped by Roe v. Wade fell.
“America has tried this failed policy before. And we’re not going back. We’re not going back,” Harris said, shaking his head as the crowd cheered, “we’re not going back.”

Special Guests at the Atlanta Rally Include Megan Thee Stallion & Quavo
On Tuesday, the 8,000-capacity basketball arena at Georgia State University was filled with voters waving signs, dancing to the Harris campaign soundtrack ‘Freedom’ by Beyoncé, and a performance by Megan Thee Stallion.
Quavo stepped to the mic and strongly endorsed the Vice President, citing his previous work with him on gun violence. He recognized the politician for always standing “on business.”
“So if you’ve never voted before, make sure you get out now because this is the original. And in the words of my brother Takeoff, I’m asking for ‘Kamala,'” Quavo said.
