Although the venue for two major presidential campaign events this week in Atlanta was the same, the rallies could not have been more different.

Hours before Vice President Kamala Harris took the stage on Tuesday at Georgia State University’s Convocation Center in Downtown Atlanta for her campaign event, former President Donald Trump announced he would have a rally at the same venue on Saturday.

The dueling political rallies offered a unique opportunity to compare the two campaigns competing for the White House.
