Vice President Kamala Harris is set to launch a battleground tour next week with her yet-to-be-named running mate, with stops in seven swing states, her campaign said Tuesday.

The trek includes a stop in Georgia just days after Harris was here for a packed rally featuring several major local Democratic figures and globally-known entertainers.

The planned tour is the latest sign of the whirlwind pace at which Harris has gone from President Joe Biden’s supportive running mate to likely Democratic nominee ready to identify her No. 2 and take on Republican Donald Trump and Ohio Sen. JD Vance.
