Vice President Kamala Harris is gearing up for her first campaign visit to Atlanta since being named as the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee. On July 30, she will be making a stop at the Georgia state capitol, marking her first official appearance as a candidate for President of the United States. This visit comes just days after President Joe Biden endorsed her, following his decision to end his reelection campaign.
While the details of her speech location are still unclear, Harris is sure to receive a warm welcome from the people of Georgia. She has already made several trips to the Peach State this year, but this will be her first as a candidate for the highest office in the nation. Since announcing her campaign on July 22, Harris has been on the move, making various appearances across state lines. She recently spoke to a large crowd of supporters in Milwaukee and addressed members of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. at their convention in Indianapolis.
After her time in the Midwest, Harris made her way to Houston to speak at the American Federation of Teachers Convention. While the details of her upcoming speech in Atlanta remain a mystery, it seems that her traveling efforts are paying off. According to a recent poll by The Hill, Harris and her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, are nearly tied among voters. In a head-to-head match-up, Trump is currently leading Harris by just one point at 48% to 47%.
These poll results are a promising sign for Democratic voters who are excited about the new direction of the party. Black Voters Matter, a community organization based in Atlanta, has observed a shift in the energy surrounding the race, particularly among young voters. In the past, many younger voters were not enthusiastic about voting for Biden again in the upcoming election, but now they are eager to get involved. "Our college organizers' chat group has been buzzing with excitement," said Black Voters Matter co-founder Cliff Albright.
"The state of Georgia played a pivotal role in helping Biden secure the White House in 2020," Albright continued. As one of eight battleground states that will determine the outcome of the election, even bipartisan voters are feeling rejuvenated. Independent voter Brian Weaver, who typically does not donate to any particular party, shared, "This was the first time I actually donated to a party, and I did so the day after Biden dropped out."
The poll results also showed an increase in registered voters after Biden announced his endorsement of Harris. Between July 22 and July 24, 1,142 new voters registered across the country. The margin of sampling error for this data is 3.3%. In other political news, Nikki Haley Voters PAC recently announced its endorsement of Harris, adding to the growing support for the Vice President. With her momentum only growing, Harris is sure to make a lasting impression in Atlanta and beyond.
