Tim Walz visits Savannah as part of Harris’ presidential campaign

play

Because Georgia is considered a battleground in the upcoming presidential elections, a lot of time and energy is being invested in educating and rallying local voters.

As part of that effort, Gov. Tim Walz is visiting Savannah and Columbus this week as Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate. Here’s what we know about the campaign’s efforts in the Peach State:

When will Tim Walz speak in Georgia and where?

Tim Walz will be in Georgia on Tuesday, October 29. Although the exact locations have not yet been publicly released Tuesday morning, he will speak in Savannah from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and in Columbus from 3:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Both events are listed as “Get Out the Early Vote” rallies.

Will Kamala Harris be in Georgia too?

Harris will not be in Georgia with Walz as she holds another rally in Washington DC. She was last in Atlanta on October 24 for a meeting with former President Barack Obama and rock legend Bruce Springsteen.

Is this Tim Walz’s first campaign visit to Georgia?

Tuesday is not Walz’s first visit to Georgia since being named running mate. He was in Macon and Atlanta in September, discussing gun violence following the Apalachee High School shooting. He and Harris also visited the Savannah area in August.

Walz’s wife, Gwen Walz, has also visited Georgia, including a two-day stop in Augusta in September, with a special focus on teachers and veterans.
