Vice President Kamala Harris will continue her bus tour through south Georgia today with two stops at local small businesses, according to her campaign.
Harris is expected to thank volunteers in Chatham County, which lies on Georgia’s shared border with South Carolina, has a large African American base in Savannah, and voted Democratic in 2020. Harris will be joined by Rep. Nikema Williams, who also joined the two tour stops yesterday at a local high school and barbeque restaurant.
Before continuing the tour, Harris and Gov. Tim Walz will tape an exclusive joint interview conducted by CNN’s chief political correspondent and anchor Dana Bash, which will air at 9 p.m. ET. Following the taping, Walz is not expected to participate in the two stops on the bus tour. Instead, the Minnesota governor will depart for North Carolina for a local political event and campaign reception.
Harris will wrap her day on the campaign trail with a rally at the Enmarket Arena, where she is expected to speak at 5:15p.m ET.
Additional speakers at the rally include State Sen. Derek Mallow, State Rep. Edna Jackson and Savannah Mayor Van Johnson. Harris will be introduced by a first-time voter, Katelyn Green, the student government president at Savannah State University — the oldest HBCU in the state.
The engagement comes as the campaign launched a new initiative aimed at mobilizing young voters at campuses across key battleground states, focusing on public colleges and minority-serving institutions.
