VP-elect Kamala Harris to campaign in Columbus as runoff election draws near

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris is coming to Columbus on Monday to campaign for Georgia’s two Democratic challengers in the U.S. Senate runoffs.

Her visit is focused on energizing the party base and turning out early voters. Harris traveled to Georgia twice before the November election, and this most recent visit comes on the heels of Vice President Mike Pence’s rally in Columbus Thursday.

National political figures have flocked to the state in the weeks leading up to the January runoffs. Pence has held multiple rallies in Georgia cities, President-elect Joe Biden appeared in Atlanta Tuesday, and President Donald Trump rallied in Valdosta earlier this month.

Republican surrogates will also appear in Columbus Saturday. Texas Congressman Dan Crenshaw and Alabama Senator-elect Tommy Tuberville will appear alongside Columbus state Senator Randy Robertson at Chattabrewchee Southern Brewhouse for an early voting rally. The rally begins at noon.
