Democratic vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz was greeted by Harris-Walz Campaign senior adviser and former Atlanta mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, Fulton County Chairman Robb Pitts, and Clayton County Chairman Jeff Turner on the ramp at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Tuesday. Atlanta was the second leg of Minnesota Gov. Walz's Georgia visit. Walz was joined by his daughter, Hope, during campaign stops at Georgia Tech's student center, a nearby pizza shop, and a bookstore. Earlier in the day, Walz rallied campaign volunteers in Macon, and worked the phones, encouraging voters to support the Harris-Walz ticket.
With recent polls showing a tight race in Georgia, Walz told volunteers they must put in the work if they hope to deliver the Peach State for the Democrats. "We don't hope that we win this election, we don't hope we get to the polls, we don't hope that things work out in 49 days, we plan to make it happen the way we want it to. We prepare," Walz told volunteers.
