ATLANTA — Georgia has been in the political spotlight this election season as both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump race to win the White House come November.
NBC reported that Trump and running mate JD Vance have visited Georgia a total of 10 times, while Harris and her running mate Tim Walz have visited the state eight times.

But do these campaign visits swing people's votes?
11Alive went into the community on Thursday to ask residents what their views are and whether they feel the influx of political visits makes a difference.
The perspectives were mixed, with some feeling that the candidates coming was a good thing and others feeling that it would make no difference to the outcome of this election.
One person even expressed that it was daunting to believe one state could potentially be the tipping point for who becomes president.
"It's scary and it's wild because I feel like Georgia should not be something the fate of our country relies on," the resident told 11Alive.
In terms of the number of campaign visits, a resident told 11Alive that they don't feel that whether Trump or Harris comes to the Peach State will change who people will vote for.
However, another person said that seeing the candidates traveling to the state showed initiative.
"Having that sort of presence in the city allows residents here to actually see that they actually care," the voter told 11Alive.
But each visit -- particularly to metro Atlanta -- leaves Georgians battling traffic.
"The traffic is very chaotic," a resident said.
So, are the campaign visits worth the wait behind the wheel?
Again, the perspective was mixed. One voter said that yes, it is worth the wait as these visits show the candidates' intent.
"Intention matters. Words -- you can say the words all you want, but your actions matter," the voter said.
Another said while they are all for people voting and making their voices heard, the visits cause a lot of traffic.
"This is a mess," the resident said about the traffic. "Like, I'm all for the voting; I'm not saying I'm not that, but it just causes a lot of traffic."
But some say the traffic is just par for the course when you live around Atlanta.
"This is Atlanta, and this is what you sign up for," the person said. "Atlanta is always known for a headache with traffic, so it's not really that out of the norm for this place."
So, whereas the people we spoke with were split on whether they believe the campaign visits will make a difference, they did agree that it's important to vote.
"I'm just happy when it's over so we can get our traffic back the way it was," the resident said. "But everybody, go out and vote!"
