Walz will campaign in Georgia and North Carolina on Tuesday

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will make campaign stops in Georgia and North Carolina on Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign announced Saturday. 

The Democratic vice presidential nominee will speak at an event in Macon, Georgia, in the morning before making stops in Atlanta later in the day, the campaign said. In the evening he’ll fly to Asheville, North Carolina, where he’ll speak at a campaign rally. 

The trip marks Walz’s first solo visit to Georgia and his second solo trip to North Carolina since becoming Harris’ running mate. Both states are among the key battlegrounds expected to determine the 2024 presidential election.
