Vice President-elect Kamala Harris is heading to Georgia less than a week after President-elect Joe Biden visited the state to rally support for the Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff in the Senate runoffs elections there. Harris will campaign in Suwanee and Columbus on Monday.

Early voting for the January 5 elections began on December 14, and already more than a million votes have been cast. 

Help Georgia’s grassroots get Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff elected! Can you give $3 right now to the groups doing critical GOTV work for a January victory?

Harris’ visit following so soon after Biden’s reflects the importance of the runoff elections, which will determine control of the Senate, with Democrats needing to win both to have a tied Senate with Harris breaking ties on votes. At stake is whether Mitch McConnell will, as majority leader, be able to block literally every Democratic priority and every Biden nominee.

Harris campaigned in Georgia twice in the weeks before the general election, which she and Biden won narrowly, reflecting years of work by activists and organizers in this traditionally red state. Her Monday visit will be aimed at increasing turnout among Black voters.
