JD Vance Previews Atlanta Rally: ‘Thousands’ Expected; Energy ‘Off the Charts’Hannah Knudsen 3 Aug 2024
The energy has been “off the charts” at Trump rallies as “thousands” are expected to show up to see the former president in Atlanta on Saturday, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday prior to the big joint event.
“It’s gonna be fun. Trump rallies are always a good time. And as we close to election, just the energy of these rallies has been off the charts,” Vance said before offering a contrast between Trump’s ability to draw people to his rallies without any extra help and Democrats recruiting celebrities to draw attendees.
“We’ll have thousands of people at this rally. And they’re coming to see Donald Trump — not a rap star, and then sort of staying afterwards to watch Kamala Harris,” Vance said, providing a recent example as Democrats recruited rapper Megan Thee Stallion at Harris’s recent event in Atlanta.
“It was, you know, when she did this rally in Atlanta a couple of days ago, the media went nuts because she actually had people there. And what they didn’t cover is that they were there to see Megan Thee Stallion, who’s a rap artist. And then after Megan Thee Stallion left the stage, a lot of people just got up and left and didn’t even stay for Kamala Harris,” Vance observed.
“So it’s a really interesting dynamic where the American people are actually interested in what President Trump has to say,” he said, explaining that Harris is largely hiding from the media and cannot organically get people to come to her events.
“Kamala Harris is hiding from the media, can’t really get people in her rallies unless she bribed them with a rap star beforehand. And I think it just drives home the different energy levels between the Republicans and the Democrats here,” Vance said, explaining that it is crucial that Republicans channel that ground enthusiasm into votes.
