Multiple former presidents have been throwing their support behind certain Georgia candidates. Another White House regular will soon be putting boots on the ground.
Former vice president and 2024 presidential candidate Kamala Harris will be the keynote speaker at "Fulton Forward," the Fulton County Democratic Party's annual gala on Friday, Oct. 30. Tickets start at $200 and supporters can submit questions at fultondems.org/fulton-forward-2026.
Harris will support Sen. Jon Ossoff in his re-election campaign. On Wednesday, AP reported the gala will cap off three days of campaigning. It's not currently known where Ossoff and Harris will be in those days before the gala, but Ossoff's campaign has been contacted for comment.
