Several residents of Savannah, Georgia, spoke to NBC News ahead of Harris’ rally there this evening. They expressed their enthusiasm for her campaign and what issues they think she should address in her speech at her rally tonight.
Lucy M., 61, said she thinks Harris is going to be a “great president,” citing the vice president’s education and background, and that will “help women’s rights and all the other issues that are now happening.”
She said Harris should speak about abortion rights in her speech tonight. “I think that’s one of the major issues right now, conflicting most of our country as girls not being able — the younger generation doesn’t even have the rights when I was a teenager,” she said, adding that abortion rights have “gone backwards.”
Damone Truitt, 64, who is originally from Detroit, said Harris should keep “bodyguards around her,” citing Trump’s “history of negativity.”
“It seemed like he’s capable of doing a whole lot of negative stuff to accomplish his goals and then act like, quote-unquote, like he hasn’t done nothing,” he said, referring to Trump, who has aimed a series of personal attacks on Harris that largely center on her race and gender.
“But all the time he’s been, you know, what you would say, shaking the tree so that the coconuts can fall on your head and miss him,”
Truitt said Harris’ speech tonight should address high costs that everyday Americans are facing and suggested that Harris should call for a tax break to help alleviate high costs.
“Well, the taxes, because everything’s pretty high in Savannah, and that’s everything from food to gas, housing, you know, everything’s to the roof,” he said.
“So maybe we should go with, like, something on a tax break or something to help all levels of life,” he added. “Rich, poor, well off. You know all that. You know they help everybody.”
