One day after Republican Sen. JD Vance’s appearance at a Georgia conservative fundraiser, Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, returns to The Peach State on Tuesday for two major campaign rallies in Macon and Atlanta.

Although Walz visited Georgia in August during a two-day bus tour alongside Harris throughout several coastal and rural cities, this trip marks his first solo visit to the swing state since traveling on the campaign.

The Democratic vice presidential nominee’s appearance will serve as the kickoff to a new initiative targeting younger voters who have been left unsure about how to cast their ballots.
