Over 300 guests attended the off-year fundraiser to witness the historic VP back in the peach state for the third time this year.

Prior to Harris’ speech, U.S. Rep. Nikema Williams spoke to reporters on the significance of this triple visit to Georgia’s impact on this upcoming presidential race,

“Well, the Vice President being here tonight is evidence of the importance of Georgia in the 2024 election cycle,” Williams said. “We will continue to be the center of the political universe. And we’re getting ready to go on the ground, and make sure that we’re continuing to engage Georgia voters in every corner of every county.”

The chairwoman for the Democratic Party of Georgia elaborated on the organization’s plans regarding concerns of potential low turnout at the polls for Biden/Harris.

“We’re organizing…We understand that you have to talk to voters. You have to talk to voters about issues that matter to them, and what you’ve already done for them,” she said.

Attendees of the exclusive event were optimistic, but cautious, regarding the chances of Georgia turning blue again. In 2020, the Biden/Harris ticket made history as the first Democratic win for Georgia in 28 years. The last time Georgia went blue before Biden’s victory was for Bill Clinton back in 1992, according to CNN.

Quantavius Foster, chairman of Emanuel County’s Democratic Committee, was hopeful about the current administration’s chances of gaining a second term, but warned that it would take even harder work to pull it off.

“I’m old school,” Foster said. “It’s going to take canvassing, and going door to door. And putting actual money in the campaign, but I think they will be able to do it like we did last time.“

Jessica Waters, a former organizer for Biden’s Georgia campaign team, also suggested that the current administration’s work on behalf of her home state speaks for itself,

“I absolutely hope so,” Waters said. “Because I think we’ve seen a lot of productive things that have come from the ticket for Georgians. I feel like he’s [Biden] has done a lot for Georgia.”

When Harris arrived to greet Georgia supporters with 2024 on the horizon, she spoke on how Georgia’s blue wave changed the political landscape in the South.

“When we hear the people’s voice through their vote, anything can happen, and Georgia Democrats helped deliver it,” the former California Senator exclaimed. “In the last few years, the leaders in this room have made a transformative impact on people around the nation and the world, which from my perspective is about the power of the descendants.”

The Vice President continued in her praise of Georgia’s political organizers and volunteers, signaling that this continued acknowledgment is a gateway to an increased voter turnout.

“The work the people in this room continue to do, including registering voters, expanding the coalitions, and activating and inspiring people,” she said. “This is the work that helps attract new waves of Black Americans, Asian-Americans, and Latinos to the South.”

Harris spoke further about extremist Republican candidates and their agenda “to silence the voices of the people and roll back our progress” on issues specifically mentioned, such as abortion and gun reform.

Emphasizing what Democrats are up against, such as radical GOP opponents, and what the administration has done to improve the lives of Southerners so far, was Harris’ mobilization tactic as they seek to not only regain but increase the numbers needed at the polls.

Currently, President Biden’s approval ratings have sunk since the beginning of his term, specifically in Georgia where his overall approval dropped 10% in two years. However, for Democrats within the state specifically, Biden still maintains a strong hold on the party voters, as 86% still support and approve of his candidacy for 2024.

In what is looking to be another battle with Donald Trump for the nation’s highest office, Biden’s campaign trail is already sending out high-profile faces such as Harris to motivate the electorate in critical states.

The Vice President’s consecutive trips to visit with Democrats in the new swing state is proof that extra attention will need to be placed on Georgia voters as the race for four more years heats up. Her 15-minute call to action left the crowd of donors and volunteers in high hopes that Georgia will get the job done for the Biden/Harris ticket for the second time.

NFL: Week Two Recap | Jalen Hurts did not fold; Caleb Williams exits game with injury

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts found Darius Cooper with nine seconds left for the game winning touchdown as his team beat the Tennessee Titans 24-20 in Nashville. Hurts finished the day 26/37 for 264 yards. He threw for two touchdowns and two interceptions. Prior to the final drive, the Eagles ran 25 plays for 45 […]

Prior to the final drive, the Eagles ran 25 plays for 45 yards. During the final drive Hurts went 6-8 with 61 passing yards and the touchdown. Titans defensive tackle — and team captain — Jeffery Simmons said this week that the way to defend Jalen Hurts is to make him “play quarterback.”

Hurts said to Simmons after today’s game: “You started that sh**. I had to finish it.”

Running back Saquon Barkley suffered a stinger in the first half but he ultimately finished the game. He had four carries and nine yards and one catch for eleven yards. He will get an MRI for his injury, but admitted to Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network he was fine.

Caleb Williams leaves game against Vikings with apparent lower-body injury

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was helped off the field with a right leg injury with 7:42 remaining in the fourth quarter. Williams was down, writhing in pain after scrambling to his left. After departing the injury tent, Williams raised his right fist, acknowledging the crowd while expressing his frustration. Testing will commence on Monday to find out more details about his injury.

“We’ll know tomorrow,” Johnson admitted regarding Williams’ injury. “He’s in good spirits. He’s a team player.”

Williams finished the day with 138 passing yards and one interception.

“I’m actually happy it’s nothing with the knee — that was my first inclination,” Johnson said. “But, a hamstring could be pretty damaging as well. So, we’ll see. We’ll see how bad it is tomorrow and we’ll go from there.”

Bryce Young once again dominated the Falcons

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is 5-1 against the Atlanta Falcons and is undefeated at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Today, Young threw for 287 yards and three touchdowns as he led the Panthers to a 34-3 dismembering of the Atlanta Falcons. Georgia Tech alumnus Darren Waller caught two touchdowns and linebacker Devin Lloyd returned one of his two interceptions for a touchdown.

Cooper Rush started his second straight game for the Falcons and it did not go well. The partisan crowd voiced their displeasure after Rush completed 10/17 passes for 86 yards and two interceptions. Jack Strand entered the game for Rush prompting cheers from the Falcons fans. The rookie threw a pick-six on his first career pass attempt. Strand was the first QB to accomplish that feat since Sam Darnold in 2018 and is the first Falcons player to do that since Brett Favre in 1991. Strand finished the day with 59 passing yards and 16 rushing yards.

According to reports, quarterback Michael Penix, Jr. is expected to make his season debut this Thursday at the Green Bay Packers. His return should help the Falcons. They are the first team since the 2008 Rams to not run any plays in the red zone after the first two games to open a season.

The bright spots for the Falcons today were the Spelman College Jaguarettes performing with the Falcons cheerleaders and Florida A&M’s marching band, The Marching 100, also performed during halftime!

Jayden Daniels gets carted off after apparent arm injury

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels appeared to injure his left elbow on the final play of the first half in his game against the Dallas Cowboys. During the play, Daniels got stepped on, braced himself for the fall, and his elbow bent the wrong way. Daniels draped a towel over his head as he exited the field on the cart.

He was later ruled out.

Daniels suffered a dislocated elbow to the same arm during week nine of last season against the Washington Commanders, which led to him being shut down for the remainder of the season.
