So we\u2019re in a good place, and it had nothing to do with Donald Trump,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The swing state governors were speaking as Harris rallied Black voters in another swing state, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/state-of-georgia\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\">Georgia<\/a>, on Sunday with \u201csouls to the polls\u201d visits to two community churches.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cWhat kind of country do we want to live in \u2013 a country of chaos, fear and hate, or a country of freedom, compassion and justice?\u201d she told the congregation of the New Birth Missionary Baptist church in Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThe great thing about living in a democracy is that we, the people, have the power to answer that question. So let us answer not just through our words, but through our actions and with our votes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Harris has been attempting to shore up support from the Black community, particularly Black men. Polls have warned of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/oct\/19\/harris-black-male-vote-polls\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">lack of enthusiasm for her campaign<\/a>, though newer polling from the Howard Initiative on Public Opinion <a href=\"https:\/\/gs.howard.edu\/sites\/gs.howard.edu\/files\/2024-10\/HIPO_Battleground_African_American_Survey_Wave_2_LV_Toplines_2024_10_10_10152024.pdf\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">found<\/a> Harris had built a lead among Black voters in swing states.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Singer Stevie Wonder was scheduled to join her later at a rally at the Divine Faith Ministries International in Jonesboro.

And another guy tried to kill him \u2026 so I\u2019m not overly impressed about the rhetoric game here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Graham also condemned Republican colleagues, including former members of Congress Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, as well as numerous ex-Trump administration officials who have denounced him and expressed support for Harris.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The retired general Mark Milley, the former chair of the joint chiefs of staff, called Trump \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/nation\/2024\/10\/12\/mark-milley-donald-trump-fascist\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">fascist to the core<\/a>\u201d, according to veteran journalist Bob Woodward\u2019s new book War.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cTo every Republican voting for her, what the hell are you doing?\u201d Graham said. \u201cYou\u2019re supporting the most radical nominee in the history of American politics. When you support her, you\u2019re supporting four more years of garbage policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">US House speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, was more restrained \u2013 but equally as determined to avoid questions about Trump\u2019s commentary in an appearance on CNN\u2019s State of the Union, suggesting that it was host Jake Tapper who was obsessed with talking about Palmer\u2019s penis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThe media can pick it apart, but people are going to vote what\u2019s best for their family and they see that in Trump,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Early in-person voting is under way in numerous states, with voters in Georgia setting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/oct\/16\/us-election-briefing-georgia-shatters-early-voting-record-as-more-than-300000-cast-ballots\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">first-day turnout record<\/a> Tuesday, even as polls have the candidates in a virtual dead heat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Shapiro said winning over the remaining undecided voters would determine the winner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThere are people that, frankly, don\u2019t follow this on a daily basis, people that don\u2019t follow the polls. They go to work, they got kids at home, they do their job with their kids and get up the next day,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThe polls look at a small number. I know it\u2019s a science, but at the end of the day I run into people all the time who just haven\u2019t given it a thought, so we\u2019re going to help them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/oct\/20\/kamala-harris-campaigns-trump-arnold-palmer\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic governors from three states in the so-called blue wall that is key to their party\u2019s aspirations for an electoral college victory delivered closing pitches for Kamala Harris on Sunday &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=116519\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8629],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-116519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=116519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116519\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=116519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=116519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=116519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
