ATLANTA — Vice President Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz will attend church on Sunday in the battleground states of Georgia and Michigan.
Harris is set to attend services at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in the Atlanta suburb of Stonecrest, Georgia. Last Sunday, she addressed congregants at a predominantly Black church in Greenville, North Carolina, another closely contested state.
The VP is also coming to Atlanta on Saturday. The visit marks the latest in a string of visits candidates on both sides of the aisle have been making to Georgia, which is expected to be a pivotal swing state in the election once again.
Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, will also sit down for an interview with the Rev. Al Sharpton, that will air Sunday night on his MSNBC program, according to a Harris campaign official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss schedule details not yet officially announced.
Both candidates will also highlight their campaign’s “Souls to the Polls” effort to encourage Black churchgoers to turn out to vote early or on Election Day, Nov. 5.
With less than three weeks until the election, the Harris campaign is focused on get-out-the-vote efforts, and has been encouraging supporters attending events to take advantage of opportunities to vote early in their states. The vice president spent much of the week focused on shoring up support among Black voters, men in particular.
Walz will join worshippers at Victorious Believers Ministries in Saginaw, Michigan.
