If it's Wednesday, the Harris Walls campaign is on the road again, busing through

Battleground Georgia, reaching out to rural voters as the campaign looks to chart a path to the

White House through the South.

Plus, Trump-running mate J.D. Vance says Vice President Harris, quote, can go to hell over
