Harris campaign launches new GOP outreach group in Georgia

Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan is headlining a new campaign effort to motivate Republican skeptics of former President Donald Trump to back Vice President Kamala Harris in November.

Duncan will join former U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh of Illinois in Roswell on Thursday to launch the Republicans for Harris in Georgia initiative. They’ll be joined at the event by Baoky Vu, a Georgia GOP elector who resigned in 2016 rather than cast a ballot for Trump.

The Harris campaign has big designs for the group. Officials say Duncan and others will help reach out to GOP voters and make inroads with conservative community groups.

They aim to target split-ticket voters who backed both Republican Gov. Brian Kemp and Democratic U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock in 2022, along with the Georgians who cast their ballots for Nikki Haley in the March GOP presidential primary.
