In viral videos and pictures from outside the Kamala Harris rally in Georgia on Thursday night, supporters were seen leaving the location while the US presidential aspirant was finishing her stage address inside.
A packed crowd attended the James R Hallford stadium in Clarkston for a star-studded event that included appearances by Bruce Springsteen, Samuel L Jackson, Spike Lee, Tyler Perry and former President Barack Obama – every one a hard act to follow.
The overwhelming majority stayed to hear the Kamala Harris speech that concluded the proceedings, to loud acclaim.
However, several hundred began to leave the stadium immediately after the preceding address by former president Obama.
During the election campaign, Kamala Harris and her team have repeatedly taunted Donald Trump over attendees leaving his events early.
Trump threatens prosecutions for ‘lawyers and election officials’ involved in ‘unscrupulous behaviour’
Donald Trump has threatened prosecutions against people involved in what he called “unscrupulous behaviour” if he wins November’s election.
In a post titled “cease and desist” on his own social media page – Truth Social – he repeated his widely debunked claims of “rampant cheating” in the 2020 election.
“I am watching the sanctity of the 2024 election very closely,” he wrote.
“The 2024 election, where votes have just started being cast, will be under the closest professional scrutiny.
“And when I win, those people that cheated will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, which will include long term prison sentences.
He said lawyers, political operatives, doors, illegal voters and “corrupt” election officials would be among those facing prosecution.
“Those involved in unscrupulous behaviour will be sought out, caught and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our country.”
