Kamala Harris‘ rally in Atlanta, Georgia, which featured a free performance from Bruce Springsteen, captured attendees getting up and leaving after the musician had finished his set. It seems the only way Kamala could get people to attend the rally was by offering a free concert. And let’s be honest, Springsteen wasn’t that good either.
