Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are set to launch their bus tour in Savannah, Georgia, aiming to expand the Democratic Party's influence in the state beyond the Atlanta metropolitan area. The campaign is strategically investing in advertising in the Savannah media market, with approximately $1.7 million spent over the past three weeks, making it the 20th highest ad spending market nationwide for the Harris campaign.
Atlanta remains the top media market for the campaign, with around $9.7 million allocated for advertising, including future bookings. In Savannah, the campaign is focusing on two key ads: one highlighting Harris' upbringing and the other emphasizing her experience as a former prosecutor, showcasing her toughness on issues like immigration and crime.
Georgia, a crucial battleground state, is witnessing intense ad battles as both parties launch aggressive campaigns. Former President Donald Trump's campaign and its supporters are also investing heavily in ads, targeting various issues such as the economy, immigration, and crime.
As the competition heats up, Harris and Walz are scheduled for their first joint interview on Thursday, further solidifying their presence in Georgia as they campaign in this pivotal state.
