Washington: US presidential hopeful Kamala Harris rallies in Georgia on Tuesday, hoping to expand Democrats' battleground map against Donald Trump and appeal to young Black voters with an appearance by hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion.
Vice President Harris's trip to Atlanta comes as reenergized Democrats regard the swing state as being in play again, after it looked beyond hope under President Joe Biden before his shock withdrawal from the 2024 election.
With the White House race now turned on its head, 59-year-old Harris Tuesday released her first television ad since replacing Biden, while the Trump camp released a dueling ad attacking her on the crucial election issue of immigration.
"We do view Georgia as very competitive," Harris campaign battleground states director Dan Kanninen said in a call with reporters on Monday.
"It's clear the vice president is energizing and mobilizing our base."
