SAVANNAH, Ga.—Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, urged supporters to work hard for another victory in 2024 while cautioning against complacency during a campaign speech on Aug. 29 in Georgia, a key battleground state that President Joe Biden narrowly won in 2020.

“We’re here to speak the truth. And one of the things that we know [is that] this is going to be a tight race until the very end,” Harris said. “So let’s not pay too much attention to the polls, because we are running it as the underdog.”
