DNC chair says grassroots organizing gives Harris a leg up in winning Georgia

Politically Georgia

On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Tia Mitchell, Bill Nigut, Greg Bluestein and Tia Mitchell discuss the excitement Georgia delegates are feeling as they arrived in Chicago with the belief that Kamala Harris’ ascension to the top of the ticket gives them a stronger chance to win the White House in November. And they preview the expected celebration of President Biden’s long career in public life and thank him for making the difficult decision to bow out of the race.

 

We also hear from Democratic National Committee chairman Jamie Harrison. Harrison says the key to victory in Georgia will be the deep grassroots organizing the party has done in the state. And he says that delegates will “blow the roof off the United Center” as they welcome Joe Biden tonight.
