Harris will campaign in the key state of Georgia as an official presidential candidate

New York – US Vice President Kamala Harris will begin campaigning as the country’s official Democratic presidential candidate starting Wednesday in the key state of Georgia, the White House announced today.

After accepting the baton from President and former candidate Joe Biden at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Tuesday, Harris will campaign in southern Georgia, including the Savannah area, a statement said.

According to her campaign’s statement to the media, the tour will consist of a two-day bus tour with her running mate, Tim Walz, which will conclude on Thursday with a solo rally by Harris in Savannah.

“Campaigning in this part of the Peach State is key as it represents a diverse coalition of Georgia voters, including rural, suburban and urban, with a large population of Black voters and working-class families,” the campaign said.

Georgia will be Harris and Walz’s second campaign tour: just before the convention, they toured western Pennsylvania, a rural area, and even stopped in a county that leaned toward Donald Trump in the last election.

Former President and Republican candidate Trump announced today that he will also hold a rally on Thursday, focusing on the economy and the automobile industry, in another key state, Michigan, specifically in the town of Potterville.

The candidates are close in the polls: according to the Five Thirty Eight aggregate, Harris has a voting intention of 47.2% and Trump 43.6%, so it is expected that they will intensify their efforts in the key states.
