A two-day bus tour, starting Wednesday, will be the Democratic ticket’s first presidential campaign stop in Georgia, increasingly a pivotal swing state in the battle with Republican candidate Donald Trump. It comes a week after Walz accepted the Democratic nomination for vice president.
Walz is not expected to stay for a Thursday evening rally with Harris in Savannah, according to information the campaign released over the weekend.
Walz will meet with voters during the tour, though the campaign announcement did not specify an itinerary of stops before the Thursday night rally.
Still unclear is when Walz might swing by the Minnesota State Fair, which he traditionally has hit on opening day, but which he missed this year for the Democratic National Convention.
On Monday morning, Walz attended to some state business, with his public schedule, noting that he was scheduled to interview candidates for three vacancies in Minnesota’s Second Judicial District.
As Minnesota’s new vice presidential candidate took his first solo campaign trip to the swing state of Pennsylvania, the media entourage searched for bathrooms, breaks and access.
