Vice President Kamala Harris made a brief stop at a downtown Savannah restaurant on Thursday to express her gratitude towards volunteers who have been supporting her campaign. The event was organized as a volunteer appreciation gathering, where Harris took the opportunity to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of those who have been actively involved.
Addressing the volunteers, Harris emphasized the importance of their contributions, stating, 'To all the volunteers: I just wanted to come by and say thank you. There’s so much that has happened in our country that makes people feel like they’re alone or they’re not seen.'
During the visit, Harris interacted with attendees and even took a moment to speak to someone over the phone. Holding the device, she expressed her pride and encouragement, saying, 'I’m so proud of you' and reminding them of the remaining 68 days until the election.
The individual on the other end of the call expressed their support, indicating that 'All my friends are voting for you,' showcasing the enthusiasm and backing Harris has garnered among supporters.
Following her stop at the restaurant, the vice president made her way to a local business in Savannah for an interview alongside her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz. Harris is scheduled to continue her campaign activities with a rally at the Enmarket Arena in Savannah before returning to Washington, DC, later in the evening.
As the election draws near, Harris continues to engage with voters and supporters, highlighting the significance of grassroots efforts and community involvement in shaping the future of the country.
