Vice President Harris is delivering a speech in Atlanta Friday at the annual conference of the mentoring organization 100 Black Men of America, Inc. The visit is part of ongoing events for Harris the White House is calling the Economic Opportunity Tour. Atlanta is the first stop on the tour, reflecting Georgia’s importance for the electoral count in November.
Harris has become a leading campaign surrogate in Biden’s outreach to the Black community. That demographic might make a big difference in Georgia, where the president is currently just short of a tie with Trump in the polls.
The vice president is scheduled to appear at 1:30 p.m. EDT.
