Harris hopes to make Georgia a competitive state in her campaign efforts
Vice President Kamala Harris is set to make her first visit to Georgia as a presidential candidate on Tuesday, where she will be rallying with rapper Megan Thee Stallion.
As the campaign season enters its final 100 days, Democrats are reassessing their strategy and focusing on swing states like Georgia, which they narrowly won in 2020 and are aiming to secure again in 2024.
Harris will be hosting a political event in Atlanta at 7:00 p.m. ET (2300 GMT), accompanied by Megan Thee Stallion, according to reports from Billboard and Rolling Stone.
Sen. Jon Ossoff, R-Ga., believes Harris’ candidacy has made Georgia a competitive state for Democrats and is confident in her chances of winning.
Swing states like Georgia are critical battlegrounds that can sway elections in favor of either party.
Recent polls show Republican Donald Trump leading Harris by a slim margin, but Harris’s campaign has been gaining momentum with significant fundraising, volunteer support, and strong polling among key demographic groups.
Biden’s endorsement of Harris has boosted her campaign, narrowing Trump’s lead in national polls and key states like Georgia.
The Harris campaign is considering potential vice presidential candidates, including Andy Beshear and other prominent politicians, with a decision expected soon.
Harris is emphasizing her background as a former district attorney and California attorney general, contrasting with Trump’s legal troubles related to the 2020 election.
Trump and several associates are facing charges for their attempts to overturn Biden’s victory in Georgia.
