The “A” will welcome Vice President Kamala Harris on her campaign trail. The Vice President is about to kick off her first rally in Georgia since announcing her presidential candidacy, which has been powered by unprecedented momentum.
So, if you’re in Atlanta, the event is taking place at Georgia State University’s Convocation Center and is set to feature big-name guests Megan Thee Stallion and Quavo, who are poised to amplify Harris’ campaign message.
“The energy is infectious,” said Georgia Democratic Chairwoman Nikema Williams, also a congresswoman from Atlanta. “My phone has been blowing up. People want to be part of this movement.” Well, we hear you loud and clear!
Quavo will address the rally on the issue of gun violence. First, let’s show some respect for a contemporary rapper taking the time to care about REAL issues affecting many communities in America. This is big on his part and an issue he’s been vocal about since the untimely shooting death of his nephew and Migos bandmate, Takeoff. Rest in Power!
Get this: CNN sources allude that he will endorse Harris for president and emphasize the significance of the Georgia vote to motivate attendees to register to vote. So he’s backing VP Harris, advocating for violence prevention, and encouraging people to vote? Somebody get this man his flowers.
Takeoff, killed in a fatal shooting outside a Houston bowling alley in 2022, inspired Quavo to release a tribute song in 2023. ICYMI, Quavo and Offset, another Migos member, reunited at the 2023 BET Awards to honor Takeoff with a performance. The right thing to do, for sure.
Get this, more positivity … In 2022, Quavo established the Rocket Foundation to honor Takeoff’s legacy, focusing on gun violence prevention and criminal violence intervention. Born and raised in Atlanta, Quavo is a key figure in the local rap scene and is excited to welcome Vice President Harris to his hometown. Last month, Harris and Quavo participated in a conversation about gun violence at the Rocket Foundation Summit in Atlanta on what would have been Takeoff’s 30th birthday. Over the past year, Quavo and Harris have developed a strong connection, working together on gun violence prevention initiatives.
CNN reported Quavo’s White House visit coincided with President Joe Biden’s establishment of the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, overseen by Harris. So policies on gun violence initiative BEFORE VP Harris announced her 2024 candidacy. Sounds like she’s on the right side of this issue.
Oh, but it gets better: Megan Thee Stallion will perform at the rally. On Monday, she announced her participation on Instagram, where she has 32 million followers, writing, “ATL HOTTIES SEE YOU TOMORROW,” along with an American flag emoji.
It makes sense that the Atlanta rally is strategically aimed at Black voters. You don’t have to be a political strategist to understand that this voting block is crucial to Harris’s campaign and a huge contingent of Gen Z and millennial voters who resonate with artists like Quavo and Megan Thee Stallion.
Let’s see how it goes. Either way, VP Harris, Quavo, and Megan Thee Stallion’s intentions are clear, and it sounds good to us.
