ATLANTA — Vice President Kamala Harris has arrived in Atlanta, marking her first visit to Georgia since becoming the Democratic Party’s presumptive presidential nominee.

Harris is campaigning to become President of the United States and will participate in a large rally at the Georgia State University Convocation Center.

The rally will feature special guests Megan Thee Stallion and Quavo, who are expected to help amplify Harris’ message.

Former Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jason Carter expressed excitement about Harris’ candidacy.

“I think this last week has been one of the greatest energizing weeks that I’ve ever seen in a presidential race,” Carter said.

The grandson of former President Jimmy Carter and a veteran of numerous political campaigns, Carter believes Harris’ presence in Georgia indicates the state’s significance in the upcoming election.

He noted the establishment of 24 new field offices and the enlistment of 7,000 volunteers in just the past week as signs of increased momentum.

“I think she’s here to talk to Georgians. I think this election in many ways still has a very huge potential to be decided in Georgia,” Carter said.

Republican Lt. Gov. Burt Jones also acknowledged Georgia’s pivotal role.

“It’s no surprise that Georgia is an important state. I think the White House runs through Georgia,” Jones said.

Jones believes the race will be driven by issues like the economy rather than personalities.

“I think the economy is going to do all the talking in this election cycle,” Jones said. “I don’t think it’s going to be about personalities or how great the media, the national media tries to portray Kamala Harris. I think it’s going to come down to the economy.”

Trump is set to visit Atlanta on Saturday, at the same venue Harris is speaking on Tuesday night.
