Vice President Kamala Harris is set to bring her campaign to Atlanta, Georgia following a surge of energy from a fresh ticket that includes her as President Joe Biden’s running mate. The rally at the Georgia State University Convocation Center will see Harris joined by top Georgia Democrats and rapper Megan Thee Stallion, as the campaign looks to mobilize volunteers and donors for the upcoming election in November.
Many Democrats had been pessimistic about winning Georgia’s electoral votes this summer, but with Harris now at the top of the ticket, there is a renewed sense of hope. Experts believe that Harris has the potential to make the state more competitive by galvanizing Black, Latino, and Asian American voters. Despite facing questions about shifts in the battleground map, the Harris campaign remains focused on both traditional Blue Wall states and newer Sun Belt battlegrounds like Georgia.
Harris has been a frequent visitor to Atlanta, making her 15th trip to Georgia since becoming vice president. Supporters like Atlanta voter Val Acree are feeling energized and optimistic about the campaign, with hopes that Harris can activate women in the “movable middle” on issues like reproductive rights. As Harris takes the stage in Atlanta, supporters like Acree will be in the audience cheering her on, eager to stay informed and engaged with the election process.
