Walz and Emhoff campaign with Maya Harris and Bon Jovi in Georgia
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and second gentleman Doug Emhoff held their first joint event of the campaign cycle on Sunday, just two days out from Election Day in Gwinnett County, Georgia -- critical ground for Vice President Kamala Harris as she attempts to win the presidency on Tuesday.
The event also featured Harris' sister, Maya, and musical performances by Jon Bon Jovi, The War and Treaty and Michael Stipe. It was a high-energy affair, and when Walz asked who had already voted in the room of about 1,400 people, nearly every hand went up -- an anecdote consistent with the record early voting numbers Georgia has been reporting.
"Here's the deal, Georgia, you have the potential to win this whole damn thing," Walz said.
Walz also warned the crowd that GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson had said Republicans might seek to repeal the CHIPS and Science Act if they take control of Congress this cycle.
"Listen to this -- defunding 115,000 jobs that are already working in manufacturing and construction, including 1,200 good paying jobs right here in Georgia," Walz said. "This thing is not only important for jobs, it is critical that we win the competition of the 21st century from countries like China."
