'When we vote, we win': Gov. Tim Walz urges early voting at Savannah event
Oct 29, 2024
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) - With fewer than 10 days until the election, Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz aren't wasting a second reminding voters to get out and make their voices heard.
Walz spoke in Savannah Tuesday at a Get Out the Vote event about Georgia's importance in the election and the distinctions between Harris and former President Donald Trump at the top of the ticket.
"This thing is tied, and you know it," Walz said. "Two minutes left on the clock. The good news is we've got the damn ball. We're driving that thing down the field, we've got the best quarterback in Kamala Harris and the team in this room is the team to win."
"Trump wants to talk about the past. Kamala's got a new way forward. She knows this economy works best when it works for all of us," Walz said.

The governor shared their plan to tackle issues important to several voters, like gun violence, affordable housing and social security. Above all, voters at the event said they appreciated what he had to say about abortion and women's rights.
"A big thing for me is the reproduction of a piece of it," Celeste Washington Taylor said. "As somebody who struggles with infertility, IVF is something that's really important for me."
"I think that Walz and Harris are kind of a beacon of hope for us, who are looking for that support. They are the people who are going to fight in our corner instead of trying to take things away from us," Stephanie Powell said.
Trump also returned to the Peach State this week with a campaign rally Monday night in Atlanta.
