Vice President Kamala Harris returns to Atlanta on Friday

Vice President Kamala Harris returns to Atlanta on Friday

Vice President Kamala Harris will return to Atlanta on Friday to speak at the annual 100 Black Men of America conference as Democrats aim to shore up support from the party’s base.

It’s the latest in a series of stops in Georgia made by Harris and President Joe Biden as the two parties battle for the state’s 16 electoral votes. Former President Donald Trump also made several stops in Georgia, which Republicans consider a must-win state.

Harris’ visit is part of a tour focused on economic development that also includes a stop this week in North Carolina, another Democratic target in November. She kicked off the tour in Atlanta in April with discussions with black business leaders. Friday’s visit will mark his fourth visit to the state this year.
