Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff stops in metro Atlanta to rally support for Kamala Harris

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – Georgia is on the minds of former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Both camps have been making multiple visits to the state, hoping to get undecided voters on board.

On Sunday, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff made a stop at Pontoon Brewing in Sandy Springs to advocate for his wife.

“She’s somebody who spent her entire career thinking about one thing: us, the people,” said Emhoff. “She has spent her entire career solving problems.”

The visit came on the heels of vice presidential hopeful Sen. JD Vance making a stop in Atlanta the day before.

At his event, Emhoff encouraged those at home to get out and vote in the next week.

“We need to elect Kamala as president because if we do not, this country will be fundamentally different,” he said. “It’s something none of you will recognize.”

Emhoff, who is a Jewish man, mentioned that his wife has unwavering support for the Jewish community.

“She will continue to support us Jews, she will continue to help in this fight against hate and antisemitism,” said Emhoff.

Early voting has had record turnout in Georgia. So far, nearly 2.7 million people have already voted in Georgia. Now candidates are hoping the momentum is on their side.

Former President Trump is expected back in Atlanta on Monday for a rally at Georgia Tech’s McCamish Pavilion.
