The Harris-Walz presidential campaign was expected to kick off a bus tour through Georgia next week, as Democrats looked to hold onto hard-fought gains made during the 2020 presidential cycle.
The Georgia trip marks the first joint campaign appearance for Vice President Harris with her new running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, since they were formally nominated at the Democratic convention, and will end Thursday with a rally in Savannah.
Harris and Walz will “lay out the stark choice facing voters in this election between Donald Trump’s dark and dangerous Project 2025 agenda and [her] optimistic and patriotic vision for a new way forward,” according to the campaign, The Hill reported.

With hundreds of millions of dollars at their disposal, Team Harris has hired more than 170 staffers across 24 campaign offices in the Peach State.
President Biden won Georgia by just 11,779 votes in 2020.
Trump was later indicted by prosecutors there for his role in trying to overturn those results.
Once a Republican bastion, recent polls show the race in Georgia essentially deadlocked.
