Former President Bill Clinton emphasized the importance of a fair and transparent vote tally as he campaigned for Vice President Kamala Harris in Georgia. He mentioned threats and intimidation against election officials as potential obstacles to a honest count. Clinton drew attention when discussing immigration, using the tragic killing of a Georgia nursing student by a Venezuelan citizen who entered the U.S. illegally as an example. Trump criticized Harris’ stance on border security in response to Clinton’s remarks. The Harris campaign clarified that Clinton’s comments were taken out of context, highlighting his call for vetted immigrants to fill necessary roles in the country. Clinton also criticized Trump for blocking a bipartisan bill aimed at bolstering border security. As the race tightens, high-profile surrogates like Clinton and former President Barack Obama are actively campaigning for Harris. A recent NBC News poll suggests that the election is very close.
