Trump rallies supporters in Atlanta as 2024 presidential race heats up
Former President Trump’s running mate JD Vance took the stage at a rally in Atlanta on Saturday afternoon, starting off his speech by blasting the current presidential administration.
The Ohio senator began his address by recapping “the last month in political history” to the audience.
“We have to remember, just over a month ago, President Trump wiped the floor with Joe Biden on that debate stage, exposing a massive cover-up of the President’s mental incapacity,” Vance said.
“He took a bullet for this country and didn’t miss a single day of work. Now he did that in one month…now, after covering up Joe Biden’s incompetence for the last three-and-a-half-years, our friends in the media are at it again.”
Vance further argued that mainstream media is presenting Harris as a moderate, despite her “radical record.”
“This is the same media that told us… for three-and-a-half years that Joe Biden, who couldn’t complete a sentence, was Albert Einstein, and now they want to tell us that Kamala Harris is Abraham Lincoln.”
13 Days: Kamala Harris has not held a press conference since emerging as presumptive Dem. nominee
Vice President Kamala Harris has gone 13 days without holding a formal press conference since becoming the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
Harris announced that she had locked up the nomination late on July 22, declaring that she had won commitments of backing from a majority of the nearly 4,000 delegates to next month’s Democratic National Convention. She has since hit the campaign trail, spoken at various events, and even chatted with reporters here and there, but hasn’t done a formal press conference or wide-ranging interview in the 13 days that have followed.
She also failed to appear at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago, where former President Trump made headlines on Wednesday with a heated question-and-answer session. On Thursday, she briefly addressed reporters at Joint Base Andrews as she and President Biden greeted Americans freed from Russia in a massive prisoner swap, including Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich.

JD Vance calls Trump’s offer to debate Harris on Fox News ‘masterstroke’
Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, on Saturday called former President Trump’s offer to debate Vice President Kamala Harris on Fox News in September a “masterstroke.”
“I think it’s great,” Trump’s vice presidential pick told SiriusXM’s “Breitbart News Saturday.” “In some ways, it’s a masterstroke because, of course, the Kamala campaign has been saying for a long time that President Trump is afraid to debate Kamala Harris, which, of course, is absurd because the last time he debated their nominee, that nominee withdrew two weeks later.”
President Biden pulled out of the race and endorsed Harris as the nominee last month after his weak debate performance in late June drew concerns from Democrats.

Trump posts Truth Social video after landing in Atlanta for rally: ‘Tremendous crowd’
Former President Donald Trump announced his arrival in Atlanta, Georgia, on Truth Social on Saturday afternoon.

“I just landed in Atlanta,” Trump says in the video, explaining that he planned to go to a roundtable with business owners to discuss the economy of Georgia.
“And then I’m going over to the arena,” the candidate said. “We have a tremendous crowd of people. I look forward to seeing everybody. It’s really festive.”
“These rallies are, absolutely, they’re very special. Never happened before,” he added. “There’s never been anything like this before. We want to take our country back we wanna make America great again. That’s what’s going to happen.”
Rep. Mike Collins calls Harris the ‘Stacey Abrams of California’ during Trump rally
Congressman Mike Collins likened Vice President Kamala Harris to Stacey Abrams during a Trump rally in Atlanta on Saturday.
The Georgia Republican made the comparison while speaking to former President Trump’s supporters.
“I tell you what Kamala Harris, man, that woman’s a mess,” Collins said of the presumptive Democratic nominee. “The world is blowing up. Our country is going down the toilet. And y’all, she makes Joe Biden look like a steady hand at the wheel.”
“And if all that don’t make sense, here’s all you got to remember; Georgia didn’t want Stacey, and we don’t want Kamala,” he added.
