Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are launching a bus tour in the southern swing state of Georgia next week.
It will be the ticket’s first time campaigning together in the state and comes after their four-day convention in Chicago where the vice president accepted her party’s nomination on Thursday night.
Harris and Walz are also expected to record their first joint interview next week and attend fundraisers, likely in California, Florida, New York as well as the Peach State, according to NBC News.
After the bus tour, Harris is set to host a rally on her own in Savannah on the Georgia coast. It will be Harris’s second trip to the state following the start of her presidential campaign in July.
“Campaigning in this part of the Peach State is critical as it represents a diverse coalition of voters, including rural, suburban, and urban Georgians — with a large population of Black voters and working class families,” the Harris campaign said in a press release.
It comes as former President Donald Trump argued on Truth Social on Friday that Harris being allowed to take on the Democratic mantle is a “threat” to democracy because she didn’t win a primary.
