Joe Biden held a rally in Atlanta, GA today.
Hardly anybody showed up…except for some pro-Palestine protestors, it seems.
Shortly after beginning his speech, Biden was quickly interrupted as a man in the crowd called out, “What are you going to do, genocide Joe? Tens of thousands of Palestinians are dead!”
Before Biden could respond, the crowd broke out in an uproar. When it finally quieted down, Biden said, “I don’t resent his passion.”

Fox News commented on the interruption during Biden’s speech:
At the Pullman Yards rally in Georgia’s capital city, Biden was quickly interrupted shortly after he began his speech by a screaming protester.
“What are you going to do, genocide Joe,” the protester yelled. “Tens of thousands of Palestinians are dead.”
Before Biden was able to deliver a response to the protester, rally-goers began chanting, “Four more years! Four more years!”
According to FOX 5, the protester was dragged out by Secret Service personnel.
After the crowd settled down, Biden said that he does not “resent his passion.”
The turnout to Biden’s rally in Atlanta is a far cry from President Trump’s rally in Rome, GA tonight…

Joe Biden just landed in Atlanta, Georgia for a rally and there were barely any non-politicians there to greet him.
The latest Morning Consult poll has Trump with 49% support and Biden 43%.

The Washington Post commented on Trump and Biden’s competing events in Georgia:
President Biden and former president Donald Trump will campaign 70 miles from each other Saturday evening, seeking to woo supporters in this crucial state in the opening salvos of the general election rematch.
The dueling appearances underscore the key role that Georgia, which holds its primary Tuesday, will play in November, after Biden defeated Trump in the state by fewer than 12,000 votes in the 2020 election. Trump decidedly won the state in 2016, beating Hillary Clinton by five percentage points.
Biden will rally voters in Atlanta, while Trump will hold his event in Rome, a city in northwest Georgia that is part of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) district. The visits come two days after Biden delivered a fiery State of the Union address, during which he assailed Trump, though not directly by name, for threatening individual rights, freedom and democracy.
At Biden’s event, he will receive the joint endorsement of three political action committees — AAPI Victory Fund, The Collective PAC, and Latino Victory Fund — and a commitment from the groups to spend $30 million to mobilize Black, Latino, and Asian American and Pacific Islander voters.
