Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, are actively campaigning across Georgia, emphasizing outreach to rural voters outside of Atlanta. Their strategy includes visiting local hotspots like a barbecue restaurant and a high school band rehearsal, aiming to secure support in traditionally Republican areas. This approach mirrors tactics used in previous successful Democratic campaigns, including those of Barack Obama and Sen. Raphael Warnock. Harris and Walz will wrap up their Georgia tour with a rally in Savannah and their first major joint interview on CNN. Polls show Harris slightly ahead of Donald Trump in Georgia, a critical battleground state with 16 electoral votes. The campaign's broader goal is to lock down swing states, crucial for securing a victory in the 2024 presidential election.
