(NEW ORLEANS, LA) — An evening before Hurricane Francine made landfall, about 30 people came out in the rain to the presidential debate party at a lounge bar in downtown New Orleans hosted by the Urban League of Louisiana and “Bike N Vote.”
Blue, red and white lights illuminated the lounge bar as Democratic supporters filled the room. Most who attended the debate watch party were Harris supporters. Several jumped out of their seats while clapping their hands yelling, out “Call him out!” as Vice President Kamala Harris spoke.
The crowd applauded Harris several times, especially when she criticized Trump. “He has no plan for you. Only to defend himself,” she said.
Many of Trump’s remarks brought sarcastic laughs. “She doesn’t have a plan. She copied Biden’s plan and it’s like four sentences. Like, Run, Spot, Run,” he said.
Raci Cooper, 28, attending her first presidential debate was enthused. “This debate was inspiring, informative and entertaining. A good time! Glad I came out,” said Cooper.
During commercial breaks, city council member James Baker spoke about how effective voting can be in decision making on both a local and state level. ULLA had on-site members and QR codes for people to scan on tables to help people register to vote and sign up for volunteer opportunities.
