Harris, Walz readying for bus tour of South Georgia

On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Bill Nigut and Tia Mitchell discuss Kamala Harris and Tim Walz’s two-day bus tour through territory often overlooked by Democrats - South Georgia. State Rep. Debbie Buckner, rural Georgia legislator, joins the conversation.

Then, state Rep. Ruwa Romman, the first Palestinian-American elected to the legislature, joins the podcast. Although she wasn’t a delegate, she was in the center of a failed effort at the Democratic National convention to find a place on the convention agenda for a speaker to discuss the impact of the Israel/Hamas war on civilians in Gaza.

Plus, Greg Bluestein joins the show from Savannah with an update on where in South Georgia the Harris/Walz bus tour will make stops before ending in a rally in Savannah tomorrow evening.
