Presidents Obama and Clinton stump for Harris in 2 very different ways
Two former Democratic presidents are hitting the campaign trail to boost Vice President Kamala Harris, each with a unique angle.
Former President Bill Clinton will travel through Georgia this weekend and into next week, seeking to gather support for Vice President Kamala Harris from rural voters who might typically vote Republican.
This is part of the Harris campaign's rural strategy. According to CNN, Clinton will not hold rallies; his schedule is for more intimate conversations, talking to crowds of only a couple hundred.
As Daily Kos previewed earlier this month, former President Barack Obama campaigned for Harris on Thursday in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. During his rally at the University of Pittsburgh, he focused on MAGA misinformation and tailored his speech toward a significant voter base the GOP relies on: men.
"I’m sorry, gentlemen. I’ve noticed this, especially with some men who seem to think Trump’s behavior, the bullying, and the putting people down is a sign of strength. I am here to tell you that is not what real strength is," said Obama. "Real strength is about helping people who need it and standing up for those who can’t always stand up for themselves. That is what we should want for our daughters and for our sons."
