– In less than 90 days it will either be him or me in the Oval Office, says Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris and Donald Trump enter the final weekend of campaigning to persuade doubters to vote for them. On Saturday, Harris advanced his message about how Trump is endangering America’s democracy during an election rally in Atlantis, Georgia. – Georgia, we have the opportunity in this election to finally turn around, after several years with Donald Trump who has constantly tried to separate us and be afraid of each other. We are done with it, she says. Kamala Harris urged the people of Georgia to vote for Harris, during the election rally in Atlantis Georgia.

She believes that health should be a right, and not a privilege for those who can afford it. – I promise to listen to experts and to listen to people who disagree with me. Because unlike Donald Trump, I don’t think that people who disagree with me are the enemy, says Harris. – He wants to put them in prison, I want to give them a place at the table. That’s what real leaders do. That is what strong leaders do, she continues. – Rights and freedom are at stake Although there are only three days left before the election, Americans have been voting in advance for several weeks. Altogether, the country has cast 72 million ballots. And the swing state of Georgia has had a record number of early votes. Over 4 million have voted in advance in the swing state, according to Reuters. Altogether, the swing state has 7.2 million registered voters, which means that well over half have voted in advance. – Women and young people feel that their rights and freedom are at stake. They vote to protect it, says Melissa Clink. Clink is the chairman of a congressional district for the Democratic Party of Georgia, and attends the election rally of Kamala Harris in Atlanta.

I found people to be committed and I love that women lead, says Clink. Loved ones Darby Osborne and Jacke Plackman are also present during the election meeting. They believe Harris is clear about what her political goals are, and how that can affect the people who vote for her. – It is an important choice and people think a lot about it. It seems to be the most even election in history, for a reason. People are worried about many different problems, and therefore it is very nice to see Kamala go up and talk about what is problematic, says Plackman. – It makes me feel very optimistic on Tuesday, he says further. For Osborne, it is her first time voting. – If Trump wins, I think there will be a lot of organization and that we will have to sharpen up for the next election, she says. – Unfit to be president The opinion polls have been steady for a long period. Donald Trump has been many people’s favourite, but it could also end up with the US getting its first female president. In particular, Clink believes that Trump’s statement about using violence against party trap Liz Cheney could turn the tide in Trump’s disfavor. – The more Trump talks, the better it is for everyone involved, because people see his true character and you don’t want that back, she says. Now the attorney general in the state of Arizona has started an investigation into death threats after Trump’s comment. – I have asked my chief of staff to look at the statement, and analyze whether it qualifies as a death threat under Arizona law, says Arizona State Attorney Kris Mayes. Kamala Harris believes that Trump has shown that he is unfit to lead the country. – This must be disqualifying. Any person who wants to be president of the United States, and who uses that kind of violent rhetoric, is obviously disqualified, and unqualified, to be president, Harris said Friday, according to The New York Times.
