ATLANTA — In the middle of chaos both the Democratic and Republican parties are working to fight for the American vote.
"There'll be probably a book written about what happened over the last week, if you think about it," Chair of Georgia's Republican Party Josh McKoon said.
McKoon is fresh off returning from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he saw former President Donald Trump in person following his attempted assassination.
"President Trump got exactly what he wanted. He got a unified Republican Party. He got a Republican Party that passed almost unanimously his platform, a platform like we've never seen before, with 20 very simple, easy to understand, actionable promises to the American people," McKoon said.
He also reacted to the news President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. He said it was inevitable after everyone watched the Presidential debate that happened in Atlanta last month.
"It's a Hail Mary pass after a disastrous debate, after a party that was in freefall, desperately trying to get their footing, and that doesn't change our job at all. We've still got work to do in this state. It's very important. We've got to get out our vote. We've got to communicate our message," McKoon said.
Vice President Harris spoke just hours after being endorsed to be the next Democratic Presidential Nominee by Biden, saying the President's "legacy of accomplishments over the past 3 years is unmatched."
With several endorsements from the party and tens of thousands of dollars raised over 24 hours, Democrats are starting to shift their focus to Harris.
Former Senator Jason Carter said he believes Harris will be able to win come November.
"The key to any election is making sure that you can connect with voters. I know that she can do that. She has been his [Biden's] partner throughout this really successful stint as President," Carter said. "She is going to be, when she becomes the President, one of the very most experienced people to take that job ever."
Carter is backing Harris and said that her experience will help stabilize the economy, reduce unemployment and tackle issues at the border.
"She's got a record, she's got the desire and the drive and the experience to fix the things that still are out there to be, to be done, and I think she just has to be able to convince people that she's the right person," Carter said.
When planning out the next few months leading up to November, both parties know their candidates need to win Georgia.
"It's imperative. It's essential for the Democratic Nominee and for President Trump," McKoon said.
