Kamala Harris is focusing her campaign on Georgia, which is becoming an important battleground in the upcoming election. This shift comes after President Biden withdrew from the race and Harris became the new Democratic nominee.
Harris held a high-energy rally in Atlanta with performances by Megan Thee Stallion and Quavo, and appearances by Democratic Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. The excitement and energy around her campaign have given Democrats new hope in Georgia, a state that Biden narrowly won in 2020, according to BBC.
Harris highlighted Georgia as a key state for winning the White House, noting that her campaign sees it as crucial for their success. Donald Trump is also planning to campaign in Atlanta soon, showing how important the state is for both parties.
Recent polls show Harris and Trump are very close in Georgia, but Trump still has strong support there. Harris is working to boost Democratic enthusiasm and turnout, which had been a concern before her campaign picked up momentum.
The campaign is focusing on several Sun Belt states, including Georgia, where high voter engagement is crucial. Harris’s campaign has seen increased volunteer activity and social media engagement since she became the nominee.
While Harris faces criticism and challenges, including attacks on her handling of border security and claims that she’s a “radical extremist,” she’s also aiming to appeal to moderate Republicans and women voters who might be turned off by Trump’s style, BBC reports.
