Vice President Kamala Harris challenges Georgia Dems to rally in 2024
Vice President Kamala Harris visited Atlanta Friday – for what was her third trip to Georgia so far this year – to rally Georgia Democrats after a recent string of disappointments.
Georgia voters helped send Harris to the White House in 2020 and then handed Democrats tenuous control of Congress with the election of U.S. Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, creating a narrow path for the Biden administration’s priorities.
But more recently, Democrats here were handed a pair of setbacks when Chicago was picked as the host city for the national convention and after a push fell short to make Georgia one of the first states to vote in next year’s presidential primary.
Warnock was also the only Democrat to win statewide last year.
In a 20-minute speech to the state party faithful, Harris touted the Biden administration’s accomplishments – like a cap on insulin costs and historic climate funding – and railed against Republicans on abortion, ballot access and gun safety in the wake of mass shootings in Georgia and Texas.
