Kamala Harris blasts Trump's call to Raffensberger in return to Georgia to help clinch Senate runoff
Source: USA Today
Vice President-elect Kamala Harris called out President Donald Trump during a campaign rally on Sunday for pressuring Georgia's secretary of state to change the 2020 election results.
"Have y'all heard about that recorded conversation? Well, it was certainly the voice of desperation, most certainly that," Harris told onlookers during a drive-in rally in Savannah, Georgia. "And it was a bald-faced, bold abuse of power by the president of the United States."
During an hour-long conversation on Saturday with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, the president repeatedly asked for the state election official to "find" enough votes to reverse his loss to President-elect Joe Biden in Georgia, according to a recording of the phone call obtained by The Washington Post.
Harris, a California Democratic senator, returned to the Peach State for a second event in as many months to charge up voters on behalf of challengers Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, who are looking to defeat Republican incumbents David Perdue and Kelley Loeffler, respectively.

This should be a nail in the coffin for Republicans to try to overturn the election. Instead, in the alternate universe that has been fostered in right wing media, this has become an expedient way to cater to an increasingly radicalized base. We need to fight tooth an nail to preserve our Democracy.
