During a recent rally in Georgia, Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a stark warning about the implications of a potential second Trump presidency. She emphasized that while Trump might be “stewing over his enemy list,” she intends to focus on her “to-do list.” As she spoke, the energized audience joined in her campaign slogan, chanting “not going back.”
Harris reiterated concerns she first raised at a CNN town hall, noting that while Trump’s first term had some checks on his behavior, a second term could lack those “guardrails.” This raised alarms about what unchecked power could mean for the future.

Former officials from Trump’s administration have recently voiced worries about his capability for office. Reports from both The Atlantic and The New York Times suggested retired Marine General John Kelly views Trump as a fascist and mentioned instances of Trump praising Adolf Hitler in conversation.
Trump responded on Truth Social, accusing Harris of fabricating narratives as her campaign struggles. He labeled her a “Threat to Democracy” and criticized her polling numbers.
As election season heats up, polling data indicates a tight race between Trump and Harris, particularly in battleground states like Georgia, which played a crucial role in Biden’s previous victory with its 16 electoral votes.
At the rally, former President Barack Obama was present, raising Harris’s arm in solidarity and highlighting her commitment to advocating for those without a voice. He stressed that she won’t be driven by personal interests but by the needs of the people.
Obama cautioned against a leadership style reminiscent of a “wannabe king,” urging the audience to reject more of the same. In her speech, Harris captured Obama’s previous campaign energy, expressing a collective desire for progressive leadership that is hopeful and focused on community and collaboration.
