Georgia is in play this presidential election, and the Biden-Harris campaign knows it. Vice President Kamala Harris will be making a stop in Atlanta on Friday.

The Vice President will visit Georgia for the 4th time this year on Friday as a part of her Economic Opportunity Tour. She will be speaking at the 100 Black Men of America, Inc.’s annual conference in Atlanta, where she will highlight the effects of Biden-Harris Administration policies on the national economy.

Vice President Harris was last in Atlanta in April to launch the Economic Opportunity Tour, which she has taken around the country. At this event, she highlighted the $158 million grant that Atlanta received from the Department of Transportation. The grant will fund “The Stitch,” an infrastructure project that will connect downtown and midtown Atlanta. She also traveled to Savannah in February on her Fight for Reproductive Rights Tour.

This Friday’s visit will mark the 13th time Harris has visited Georgia since becoming Vice President.
