Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison called Georgia “my second home” ahead of this year’s convention.
Harrison spoke to the “Politically Georgia” crew before the convention got underway Monday. He said Vice President Kamala Harris, who is now at the top of the Democratic Party’s ticket, has made Georgia a priority.
“Harris has been to Georgia (more than) 14 times, (at least) six times just this year,” he said. “And so it is a really, really important part of our formula for getting to 270 votes.”
Harrison also took the time to highlight the infighting on the opposite side of the aisle.
“So we’re just clicking on all cylinders. Now, on the flip side, the Republicans are engaged in their own civil war in Georgia,” Harrison said.
“The (former) president is constantly dragging the governor in that state. The former lieutenant governor, a Republican, is supporting Kamala Harris in the presidential race,” he added. “So Democrats are all in formation, to quote Beyoncé. We are moving along.”
