Kamala Harris returns to Georgia ahead of November election

25 days before the start of early voting in Georgia on Tuesday, October 15, current US Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is scheduled to run again today in Georgia, more specifically in the Atlanta metropolitan area, according to her campaign team.

For example, in swing states such as Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, Harris and her opponent, former US President Donald Trump, were often seen.

For example, Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance will be in Leesport, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, and Democratic vice presidential candidate and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was in Atlanta on Tuesday, National Voter Registration Day, and took time to speak with students at the Atlanta University Center and Georgia Tech.

Harris held a rally in Savannah on August 29 and saw a large crowd fill the seats at En Market Arena. Both she and Walz also conducted a grassroots bus tour of Coastal Georgia, making stops in downtown Savannah and at Liberty County High School in Hinesville the day before.

With 16 electoral votes up for grabs, Georgia remains crucial for both presidential candidates. There’s a good chance Harris and Trump will return to Georgia before Election Day on November 5. In early August, the Harris-Walz campaign increased its advertising budget in Georgia, and several of those billboards went up in Savannah.
