SAVANNAH, Ga. — Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday worked to shore up Democratic support in Georgia by visiting a part of the battleground state that’s not frequented by politicians nearly as much as the more heavily populated metro Atlanta area.

“For the past two election cycles, voters in this very state, you who are here have delivered,” Harris said. “You sent two extraordinary senators to Washington, D.C.”

She said Georgians mobilized to put a Democrat in the Oval Office four years ago, and she’s hoping for a repeat. “You showed up, you knocked on doors, you registered folks to vote, and you made it happen,” Harris said. “You did that. And so now we are asking you to do it again.”

The rally comes after Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, completed a two-day bus tour of southeastern Georgia. During a stop at a Savannah cafe on Thursday, Harris said that next week she plans to roll out a tax credit proposal for new startups and small businesses.
