SUMMARY: President Harris has united a diverse coalition in Georgia, comprising Republicans, Independents, and Democrats, to move past Donald Trump’s leadership. Notably, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff labeled Trump “the most dangerous person ever” and a “fascist,” emphasizing the risks Trump poses. Many Republican Senators privately acknowledge his unfitness for presidency, yet they remain loyal despite his actions undermining democracy. Harris urges Georgians to participate actively in the upcoming election, emphasizing their ability to elect a capable leader and stressing the importance of grassroots campaigning to secure victory for their future.

Authorities are exploring potential motives, including his dissatisfaction with Saudi refugees’ treatment in Germany.
