Joe Biden turned his attention to Georgia today. Recent polls in the state show the former vice president with a one-point lead over Donald Trump. Biden is hoping to be the first president to win the state since 1992. In an opinion piece in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Jim Galloway writes:

To see a Democratic presidential candidate anywhere in Georgia, one week before the end of voting, is in itself a wonder. In past cycles, Republicans would beg Democrats to waste as many dollars as they could in their bootless quests to turn Georgia blue. Those taunts have disappeared. The situation is no longer a laughing matter.

Biden chose to make his speech from Warm Springs, Georgia, A small town that Franklin Roosevelt visited often when he was dealing with polio.

Biden said today the focus of his speech was “how we are going to heal our nation.” ABC News writes:

The former vice president lamented the fact that on Monday the U.S. had its highest number of new cases since the pandemic began and slammed Trump for once saying of the country’s death toll, “It is what it is.”

“It is what it is because he is who he is,” Biden said. “As a president, I will never waive the white flag of surrender.”

He repeated that he is running to serve all Americans — not just those in his party — and ended with a message that he is “ready to act.”

After leaving Warm Springs, Biden headed to a drive-in rally in Atlanta where he is expected to appear alongside Georgia’s two Democratic Senate candidates.

Dr. Jill Biden was also in Georgia yesterday. She made stops in Macon and Savannah.
