Thousands of people have gathered to hear Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in the battleground state of Georgia for a star-studded rally with rock legend Bruce Springsteen and former President Barack Obama.
Ahead of Ms Harris’ remarks on Thursday, film director Spike Lee warned a packed crowd at the James R Hallford Stadium not to be “bamboozled” into voting for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Springsteen performed melancholy laments The Promised Land, and Land Of Hope And Dreams.

Bruce Springsteen shared pointed words for Donald Trump during an appearance at Kamala Harris and Barack Obama’s rally in Atlanta today. Between acoustic performances of his songs “The Promised Land” and “Land of Hope and Dreams,” he took a moment to address the crowd, explaining why he will be supporting Harris in the upcoming election and referring to Trump a “tyrant.”
“I’m Bruce Springsteen, and I am here today to support Kamala Harris and Tim Walz as President and Vice President of the United States,” he told the crowd. “And to oppose Donald Trump and JD Vance. Here’s why.”
He continued on to explain that he believes in Harris’ values and that he wants to support a
candidate who honors the lawful traditions of the United States. “I want a president who reveres the constitution, who does not threaten but wants to protect and guide our great democracy, who believes in the rule of law and the peaceful transfer of power, who will fight for a woman’s right to choose, and who wants to create a middle-class economy
that will serve all our citizens,
” he said. “There is only one candidate in this election who holds those principles dear: Kamala Harris.”

“Donald Trump is running to be an American tyrant. He does not understand this country, its history or what it means to be American,” Springsteen said, as he encouraged the crowd to vote for Ms Harris.

About 20,000 people were attending, her campaign said, which would make it her largest political rally yet, besting the 17,000 Harris drew in Greensboro, North Carolina in early September.
Barack Obama explains what this election is about
Mr Obama took to the stage, warning Americans there is “no evidence that this man (Mr Trump) thinks about anyone but himself”.
“Donald Trump is a 78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down that golden escalator nine years ago,” he said.
