VP Harris and Gov. Walz to campaign in Ga. next week

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) -Building off of the momentum of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz will kick off a bus tour in Georgia on Wednesday.

This is the first time the Vice President and Governor Walz will campaign together in Georgia. The swing through South Georgia will end with a rally in the Savannah area with Vice President Harris on Thursday evening.

On the bus tour, the Vice President and Governor Walz will meet directly with voters in their communities.

In Thursday night’s rally, the Vice President will lay out the choice facing voters in the election between Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda verses a vision for a new way forward.

Team Harris-Walz is running the largest in-state operation of any Democratic presidential campaign cycle ever in Georgia, with more than 170 Democratic campaign staffers in 24 coordinated campaign offices across the state.

Savannah is an economic hub in Georgia and is home to significant investments from the Biden-Harris administration, including historic clean energy job creation from the Inflation Reduction Act.

Campaigning in this part of the Peach State is critical as it represents a diverse coalition of voters, including rural, suburban, and urban Georgians – with a large proportion of Black voters and working-class families.

This campaign swing comes after the Harris-Walz campaign released a new TV ad on Friday, airing across media markets in 8 states including Georgia, focusing on the Vice President’s economic vision and belief in building up the middle class, lowering costs, and creating an opportunity economy where everyone who works hard can get ahead.

Former President Donald Trump wrapped up remarks in Glendale, Arizona on Tuesday, where he spoke about his vision to lower the cost of living, secure the border, make cities safe again and received key endorsements from special guests.

On Tuesday, Vice Presidential Nominee, Senator JD Vance will deliver remarks on the economy, inflation, and manufacturing at the Majestic Friesians Horse Farms in Big Rapids, Michigan.
