Former President Bill Clinton travels to Georgia to rally rural Black voters to the polls
Former President Bill Clinton is urging voters in rural Georgia to get behind Kamala Harris' campaign for the office he once held
ALBANY, Ga. (AP) — Former President Bill Clinton urged churchgoers in Albany, Georgia, on Sunday to rally behind Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign for the office he once held.
“Uniting people and building, being repairers of the breach, as Isaiah says, those are the things that work," Clinton said. "Blaming, dividing, demeaning — they get you a bunch of votes at election time, but they don’t work.”
While Mount Zion Baptist Church was not quite full, a hefty crowd welcomed Clinton with a standing ovation. Many attendees were older, but some younger people were dispersed throughout the pews.
“I think it was a great advancement for southwest Georgia to have the former president come to grace us today during the church service and spread the word about voting, especially to our young people,” said Takisha Campbell.
