Barack Obama and Kamala Harris will campaign together in Georgia
Former President Barack Obama will join Vice President Kamala Harris for the first time on the campaign trail this election season with a rally next week in Georgia as Democrats race to turn out more Black voters.
Campaign officials didn’t immediately disclose the location of the Oct. 24 event in the battleground state, which comes a day after former President Donald Trump headlines a rally in Gwinnett County.
t will be Obama’s first stop in Georgia this campaign cycle, and one of a handful of appearances he’s scheduled on the trail. He held his first rally in Pittsburgh earlier this month, and will soon hold events in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin.
Obama, the nation’s first Black president remains a popular figure among Democrats. An August YouGov survey found that 94% of Democrats and about half of independent voters still view him favorably.
