After two days on a bus tour through south-east Georgia with her running mate, Tim Walz, Kamala Harris arrived at an arena in Savannah to a boisterous crowd and told them that despite the state being a stretch, it is still winnable in November.

“Don’t pay attention to polls – we are underdogs,” the vice-president said, telling the roughly 9,500 attendees that they had “work to do” in order to secure victory. “We don’t mind hard work. Hard work is for workers.”
