Harris Borrows Trump's Line to Demand a "Too Big to Rig" Midterm Turnout
Seven-state blitz ends with two days in Georgia
Former Vice President Kamala Harris closed her midterm campaign blitz with a two-day visit to Georgia, capping a final-stretch tour for candidates across seven states. In Atlanta she spoke at Elizabeth Baptist Church and headlined the Fulton County Democratic Party's annual fundraising dinner, Fulton Forward, on Friday night. She also rallied students at Clark Atlanta University alongside Senator Jon Ossoff.
Borrowing Trump's mantra to drive turnout
Warning that President Donald Trump could try to meddle in Tuesday's election, Harris echoed one of Trump's own mantras from the 2024 cycle. "In this case, we just need to turn out in really large numbers that would be too big to rig," she said at the Atlanta church. She repeated another line throughout the trip: "This is the moment where we turn that anger into action."
"Callous, corrupt and incompetent" — and "decorator-in-chief"
Two years after losing the presidential election to Trump, Harris delighted Democratic donors and activists with sharp jabs. She called Trump "callous, corrupt and incompetent" and mocked him as the "decorator-in-chief" over his White House renovations and gold adornments. Speaking for approximately 25 minutes in Fulton County, she accused the administration of corruption, cheating, and bribing voters, and criticized its tariffs, Medicaid cuts, and the war in Iran. She reminded Fulton County Democrats that Trump has fixated on the county to support his baseless claims of fraud in the 2020 election.
Civil rights history and a "backdoor racism" charge
In Georgia, Harris delved into civil rights history, accusing the U.S. Supreme Court of "backdoor racism" for gutting the Voting Rights Act and letting Republicans redraw congressional districts that now elect nonwhite lawmakers. "You have proven that when Democrats invest in the South, we can win in the South," she said. "You register voters, you build coalitions, you knock on doors and you win races that the pundits were saying were impossible."
