Kamala Harris draws 10,000 supporters to her Atlanta rally, her biggest crowd yet

It was an event some are calling a uniquely Atlanta event that combined a fiery campaign stump speech with high-energy hip-hop performances. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Bill Nigut and Greg Bluestein discuss Kamala Harris’ first rally in Atlanta since becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee for president.

Katy Gates of “Voters for Tomorrow” joins the podcast with thoughts on whether the Harris campaign is energizing young voters who until recently seemed disengaged from the presidential race.

We are also joined by Conservative attorney and former Georgia GOP state legislator Megan Hansen - a new contributor to the AJC -  to give her reaction to the Harris rally, and to discuss the weekend visit to Atlanta of Donald Trump and JD Vance.
