David Plouffe, a top adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid for the presidency, told Georgia delegates to the Democratic National Convention Wednesday that an advertising offensive will soon kick off in their home state.

“We do have, as you know, if you turn on your TV or you open up your phone in Georgia, you’re seeing a lot of attack ads on our candidate,” he said. “We’re trying to respond the best we can, but we’re also very soon going to move to offense, a lot more offense about what she’s going to do, about what (former President Donald) Trump will do.”

The Democrats’ messaging will focus on two areas, the first of which is abortion access. Plouffe said.
