Harris Targets GOP Stronghold With Two-Day Trip To Southeast Georgia

Homepagemarkets-real-timePolitical Market NewsPolitical RiskPolitical Risk BulletBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange Bullets

Vice President Kamala Harris will resume campaigning today, after a post-DNC break, with a two-day campaign stop in the GOP stronghold of southeast Georgia. The trip suggests that the state, which appeared to be comfortably in former President Donald Trump’s column before President Biden withdrew from the race, is now in play in November.

  • Politico notes: “Sinking time, money and human resources into Georgia is a high-risk, high-reward strategy for Harris but one that is being hailed by the state’s Democrats,” as affirmation that Georgia is back in play.
  • Harris’ deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks said, on the rationale of visiting a part of the state outside Democrats’ Atlanta heartlands: “You have to really stave down margins and go places even when you don't think you can win it outright. You know you're going to lose that county, but just showing up there can sometimes be the difference between 5 to 10 percentage points, or sometimes just putting an office there.”
  • GOP operative Brian Robinson said: “We see them putting resources in Forsyth County, a heavily Republican County… [Some] Republicans are sort of confused: “Why are they wasting this money?’ And I'm like, they're not trying to win Forsyth County. They're trying to cut the margins.”
  • Harris and her VP nominee Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) will cap the trip with a campaign rally in Savannah on Thursday.
