Former President Clinton campaigns for VP Harris in Augusta


AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Former President Bill Clinton took the Augusta stage campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday.

Augusta Commissioner Jordan Johnson took the stage first urging everyone to get out and vote. Not long after, Clinton took the stage and had this to say on behalf of the democratic party.

While Clinton’s speech was mostly what you would expect from a rally – he did have a message for both sides of the aisle, “There are things we need to do, but we can’t get there if we spend all of our time fighting and bad-mouthing each other.”

The former president also said this was his second to last event on the campaign trail.

Georgia Lt. Gov candidate state Rep. David Clark made a stop in Augusta Saturday. He says that some of his priorities if he wins include expanding school choice, eliminating the state income and property taxes, and reaching out to younger voters.

Clark is also an Army veteran, who served overseas. He hopes to represent all Georgians.

“Before politics and parties we’re Americans, we’re Georgians. That’s the biggest thing. People want someone who stands up and listens to people,” said Clark.

“I’m not saying we’re always going to agree, but in the end—we’re the American family, we’re the Georgian family.”
