LaDena Bolton, who is running for a commissioner seat – a local government role – here in DeKalb County, Georgia, believes Harris’s rally on Thursday night was a wise strategic play.
She said speakers like Hollywood luminaries Samuel L Jackson, Spike Lee, and Tyler Perry, as well as Barack Obama himself, were the right line-up at the right time.
“I could tell she’s targeting black men because there’s been so much conversation of how they could make or break the race,” Bolton said.
Trump has been aggressively courting these crucial voters. And the timing was right, Bolton said, as it coincided with early voting.
She did note that “there has been voter apathy” – but still felt confident Harris could pull it off.
