At a barbecue joint, a high school marching band practice and other stops around Savannah, Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, hoped to send a message about their eagerness to make inroads into Republican-leaning regions outside of metro Atlanta.

“It’s good to be back in Savannah,” Harris told a crowd during a Thursday afternoon rally at Enmarket Arena in Savannah. “Georgia, I love you back and we have 68 days to go until this election.”
