President Donald J. Trump and Vice Presidential Nominee, Senator JD Vance to Hold a Rally in Atlanta, Georgia
President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, and Vice Presidential Nominee, Senator JD Vance will deliver remarks at a Rally in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday, August 3, 2024 at 5:00 PM EDT.
Weak, failed, and dangerously liberal Kamala Harris and her complicit cronies have made the great people of Georgia pay a hefty price for their woke policies. Under Harris and Biden, the average Georgia household is losing over $1,060 a month with inflation at 21.4%. Thanks to Harris’s war on American energy, average gas prices have reached record highs in the state.
Kamala Harris has yet to say Laken Riley’s name, which is no surprise considering her pro-criminal and open border policies. As Border Czar, Kamala Harris opened the border to millions of illegal immigrants that have flooded American streets with deadly drugs that have spiked drug overdoses by 124%.
President Donald J. Trump and Senator JD Vance are heartbroken to see the path of death and destruction left behind by Kamala Harris and her activist friends. President Trump and Senator Vance will fight to ease the financial pressures placed on households and re-establish law and order in Georgia! We can Make America Great Again by tackling lawlessness head-on, ceasing the endless flow of illegal immigrants across our southern border, and reversing the detrimental effects of inflation by restoring people’s wealth.

Trump Campaign Launches New Ad on Dangerously Liberal Border Czar Kamala Harris
Today, the Trump campaign launched a new ad in battleground states highlighting dangerously liberal Kamala Harris's weakness and failure to stop the invasion of illegal immigrants at our Southern border. President Trump created the most secure border in our country's history. In just a few short years, Border Czar Kamala opened the floodgates to millions of illegal immigrants.
Dangerously liberal Kamala Harris believes in open borders. Just yesterday, her national surrogate Senator Elizabeth Warren made it clear Kamala Harris plans on not only allowing millions more illegal aliens into our country, but also rewarding them with taxpayer funded benefits and amnesty.
"Border Czar Kamala Harris’s failure and has made America less safe: migrant crime is up, terrorists have entered through her open border, fentanyl deaths are exploding, and human trafficking is impacting every states. Harris is dangerously liberal and Americans are paying the price." -Danielle Alvarez, Senior Advisor
The new ad will run across six battleground states.
Harris for President Launches First Ad of $50 Million Paid Media Buy
$50 Million Battleground Campaign to Air in Run Up to Democratic National Convention
Vice President Harris: “This campaign is about who we fight for."
Today, Harris for President is launching a $50 million paid media campaign ahead of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago along with its first ad, “Fearless.” Featuring footage from Vice President Harris’ high-powered first rally in Milwaukee, “Fearless” reminds voters of who she is: a fighter who has never been afraid to take on the powerful and special interests on behalf of the American people.
As a prosecutor for over 20 years, Vice President Harris has spent her career putting murderers and abusers behind bars and taking on the big banks to win billions back for hard working families and drug companies to cap the cost of insulin for seniors.
The ad also outlines her vision for the future where every American has the ability not just to get by, but to get ahead. It puts a spotlight on the dangerous and extreme plan Donald Trump has for the country: giving tax cuts to billionaires, big corporations, and ending the Affordable Care Act. Vice President Harris closes the ad by demonstrating that this election is a choice between two starkly different visions for this country, calling out Trump for his extreme agenda, saying, “Donald Trump wants to take our country backwards... but we are not going back."
Today’s announcement is the first ad of a $50 million flight across battleground states between now and the Democratic National Convention in August.
“Fearless” will run on local and national broadcast, cable programming, streaming, and social channels. The buy will over-index for the audiences critical to winning this November, including running during high-audience events like the Olympic Games, as well as programs like The Bachelorette, Big Brother, The Daily Show, Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, and The Simpsons. As part of the campaign’s Olympics presence, Harris for President is planning to air ads both locally and nationally during the Olympic Games, which saw nearly 30 million US viewers for the opening ceremony — a more-than-60% increase over the Tokyo Olympics. Shorter fifteen-second and six-second versions of the ads will also reach voters on Connected TV, audio, and social platforms.
The following is a statement from Harris for President Campaign Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon:
“Throughout her career as a courtroom prosecutor, Attorney General, United States Senator, and now as Vice President, Kamala Harris has always stood up to bullies, criminals and special interests on behalf of the American people – and she’s beaten them. She’s uniquely suited to take on Donald Trump, a convicted felon who has spent his entire life ripping off working people, tearing away our rights, and fighting for himself. This $50 million paid media campaign, bolstered by our record-setting fundraising haul and a groundswell of grassroots enthusiasm, is one crucial way we will reach and make our case to the voters who will decide this election.”
NARRATOR: The one thing Kamala Harris has always been: fearless.
As a prosecutor, she put murderers and abusers behind bars. As California’s Attorney General, she went after the big banks and won $20 billion for homeowners. And as Vice President, she took on the big drug companies to cap the cost of insulin for seniors.
Because Kamala Harris has always known who she represents.
KAMALA HARRIS: This campaign is about who we fight for.
We believe in a future where every person has the opportunity not just to get by, but to get ahead. Where every senior can retire with dignity.
But Donald Trump wants to take our country backward. To give tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations and end the Affordable Care Act.
President Trump And Senator Vance Deliver Powerful Speeches In Minnesota
President Donald Trump and Senator J.D. Vance gave powerful speeches Saturday before thousands in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
Vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance said: "Kamala Harris questioned my loyalty to this country. That's the word she used -- 'loyalty.'... I'd like to ask the vice president, what has she done to question my loyalty to this country? I served in the United States Marine Corps. I went to Iraq for this country. I built a business for this country, and my running mate took a bullet for this country. So my question to Kamala Harris is, what the hell have you done to question our loyalty to the United States of America?”
Paul Perez, president of the National Border Patrol Council, spoke at the rally and said: "Border Czar Harris doesn't care about the border... Border Czar Harris needs to go."
Highlights:
President Trump: "On my very first day back in the White House, I will terminate every single open border policy of the Biden-Harris Administration, and we will seal the border and we will stop the horrible invasion into our country.... No person in American politics has been more of an open border zealot than Border Czar Harris."
President Trump: "Kamala Harris was the original Marxist district attorney. She destroyed San Francisco and she will destroy our country."
President Trump: "I sent in the National Guard to save Minneapolis, while Kamala Harris sided with arsonists and rioters and raised money to bail out the criminals."
President Trump: "Ultra liberal Kamala Harris will deliver crime, chaos, mayhem, and death to our country. I will restore law and order, justice in America."
President Trump: "This November, the American people are going to reject Kamala Harris’s crazy liberal extremism in a massive landslide... We’re not going to let her turn the United States into communist San Francisco."
Senator Vance: "Some of the criminals freed by Kamala include a convicted rapist, a knife murderer, a domestic abuser who later shot and killed a man while he was out on bail."
President Trump: "Tonight I pledge to Minnesota miners that when I’m re-elected, I will reverse the Biden-Harris attack on your way of life, and we will turn the Iron Range into a mineral powerhouse like never before."
President Trump: "Harris is so extreme and unhinged that she has even declared the terms 'illegal alien' and 'radical Islamic terrorism' to be forbidden and unacceptable."
Governor Tim Walz was joined by Senator Amy Klobuchar, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum, St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter, and local leaders for a canvassing kickoff event to build on the groundswell of enthusiasm for Vice President Harris’ campaign – and to highlight the high stakes of the clear choice facing Minnesotans at the ballot in November.
“Three days ago, the nation found out what we've all known in Minnesota, [Trump and Vance] are just weird,” said Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. “They’ll be happy to only be 10 points behind by the time we’re done with them. [Trump] is here today in the state of hockey to complete his trifecta: He lost in 2016, he lost in 2020, and he's going to lose in 2024.”
“We all know the threat that Donald Trump poses to America… but today I want to make the case for hope,” said Senator Amy Klobuchar. “[Vice President Harris] is a person of integrity, and a person of joy. There is no better person to prosecute the case against Donald Trump, who was so proud to overturn Roe v. Wade, than…Kamala Harris.”
“When Vice President Harris came to Minnesota, I got to spend the day with her. She was amazing, absolutely amazing,” said U.S. Representative Betty McCollum. “For those of us who were in the House in the dark days of the Trump administration – attacking the environment, attacking labor, attacking women's rights, attacking Social Security, and attacking health care. We're not going back there.”
[Joe Biden] has left us with an incredible candidate, an incredible standard-bearer, an incredible next President in our Vice President, Kamala Harris. We're going to win Minnesota, and we're going win this race,” said St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter.
“We all saw January 6 – never before had we seen a violent attack on our Capitol to stop a democratic election. But in case you need another reminder, this guy [Donald Trump] stood up in front of a group of religious folks, and he said to them, ‘I just need you to vote one more time, and then, after that, never again. You don't have to vote anymore,’” said Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. “And sometimes they say the quiet part out loud. Sometimes they just say it right to your face.”
“I have no doubt that Minnesota is going to do what we need to do. Never has a choice been more clear,” said Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flannagan. “We won't let any sexist or racist rhetoric that is coming from weirdos win. Their weirdness will fuel our fire. We're on the side of love over hate, and hope over fear.”

Barack and Michelle Obama Endorse Kamala Harris for President
This morning, President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president of the United States. In a video endorsement, the former president and first lady called on Americans to join them in getting to work to elect the vice president, and gave their full-throated support and commitment to doing everything they can to make her the next president of the United States.
“We called to say Michelle and I couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office.” - former President Obama.
“It's time for us to rally around you, your candidacy. This is not on you, it's not just on you and Doug, it's on all of us. ... We've got to register, we've got to vote. ... So, let's all roll up our sleeves and make it happen.” - former First Lady Michelle Obama.
The endorsement comes as Harris for President kicks off a Weekend of Action marking 100 days until Election Day. With over 170,000 volunteers and 2,300 events across the battleground states, Team Harris is making its case to the voters who will decide this election about the fundamental choice they will face this November at the ballot box. Kamala Harris wants to build a future where every person has the opportunity not just to get by, but to get ahead. Donald Trump wants to take America backwards with his extreme Project 2025 agenda.
The Obamas’ endorsement adds to the already-massive groundswell of support for the vice president’s candidacy, including endorsements from labor unions, advocacy groups, and dozens of Democratic elected officials who are dedicating their robust organizing infrastructure to supporting her campaign.
