(NewsNation) — Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, are making a two-day bus tour through Georgia, concentrating on rural counties in the state.

On Tuesday, Walz met Harris on the tarmac in Savannah, and the two greeted students from Savannah State University before hitting the road.

Harris and Walz will meet with supporters, campaign staff, small business owners and voters as they make their way through southern Georgia, with a rally in the coastal city of Savannah to end the trip. This visit is making up for one that was axed earlier in the month after Tropical Storm Debby battered the region.

The Harris campaign is putting a lot of effort into mobilizing Georgia, a swing state that the Biden administration narrowly won back in 2020. More than 35,000 volunteers have been recruited by the campaign, and nearly 200 staff members across 24 campaign offices were hired in preparation.

The latest polling from NewsNation partners The Hill and Decision Desk HQ shows Harris trailing her Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump, by about 3 points in Georgia. When it comes to the 2024 election, Georgia residents continue to see the economy as their greatest priority, elected officials told NewsNation. Specifically, they have concerns about the price of grocery staples like milk, bread and eggs.

In addition to the bus tour and the Thursday rally, Harris and Walz will be sitting down with CNN anchor Dana Bash for their first joint interview. The pre-taped interview will air Thursday night.
