ATL…you ready for the VP?
Vice President Kamala Harris will make Atlanta her first campaign visit since becoming the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee.
However, this will be her first visit as a candidate for President of the United States.
Since her campaign announcement was made on July 22, Harris has hit the ground running making numerous appearances across state lines. She spoke to a large crowd of supporters in Milwaukee just days later and then spoke for members of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. during their convention in Indianapolis.
After being in the Midwest, Harris traveled to Houston to make remarks at the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) Convention.
While there are very little details surrounding where she will be speaking in Atlanta, her traveling seems to be paying off. According to The Hill, a poll conducted by the New York Times and Siena College revealed Harris and her GOP opponent, Donald Trump, are close to being tied amongst voters. In regard to a one-on-one match-up, the former President is leading the VP by just one point at 48% to Harris’ 47%.
“You’ve got new people looking to vote and knock on doors.”
“This was the first time I’ve actually donated to a particular party, and I did so the day after Biden dropped out.”
Poll results also found an increase in registered voters after Biden dropped out. Between July 22 and July 24 and 1,142 registered voters across the country, the margin of sampling error stopped at 3.3%.
