HARRIS AND WALZ KICK OFF GEORGIA BUS TOUR AS DEMOCRATS' HOPES RISE

WASHINGTON, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris
and her running mate Tim Walz will campaign together on Wednesday in Georgia, a
state that Democrats narrowly won in 2020 and could play a decisive role in this
year's election.
The election race has dramatically changed since Harris became her party's
candidate last month, and she hopes to galvanize Black voters who make up about
one-third of Georgia's electorate and will be crucial in the effort to win
there.

Harris and Walz will take a bus through southern Georgia, home to some of its
largest Black populations and where the campaign has added staff and opened
field offices.
Before President Joe Biden dropped his reelection bid last month and endorsed
Vice President Harris, polls showed Republican candidate Donald Trump with a
clear lead in Georgia, and some Black voters were disillusioned with Democrats.

Since then, however, Harris has steadily gained ground in national polls and has
been boosted by well over $500 million in donations.
The latest polls compiled by FiveThirtyEight show Harris just behind Trump,
46.0% to 46.6% in Georgia, compared to about a five point lead for Trump before
Harris entered.
Before the 2020 race, Georgia last backed a Democrat for president in 1992.
If elected, Harris will be the first female president in U.S. history. As a
Black and South Asian woman, she is seeking to shore up support for Democrats
among Black voters and motivate new groups of voters.

Harris is expected to focus on the economy and abortion rights during the
Georgia trip, including a pledge to lower consumer costs, a campaign official
said.
The tour will culminate with a Harris rally in the Savannah area on Thursday.
"Campaigning in this part of the Peach State is critical as it represents a
diverse coalition of voters, including rural, suburban, and urban Georgians —
with a large population of Black voters and working class families," the Harris
campaign said.

It is Harris's second Georgia trip since she became the Democratic candidate. A
rally in Atlanta earlier this month featured hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion
and drew more than 10,000 people.
Harris, 59, pledged then that Democrats will win the state which has 16
electoral college votes and is one of several swing states that can lean either
to Republicans or Democrats. Democrats won it by less than 12,000 votes in 2020.

Republicans have dramatically ramped up spending in Georgia and the
Republican-controlled state election board added a new rule that voting rights
advocates say could delay certification of the vote in November.
Trump, 78, said in a social media post last week that winning Georgia "is so
important to the success of our Party, and most importantly, our Country." He is
expected to campaign in the state several more times before Election Day on Nov.
5.
Recent national polls have shown Harris building a small lead over Trump since
she entered the race on July 21.
A new Reuters/Ipsos poll on Tuesday showed that Harris has eroded Trump's
advantage on the economy and crime.
