His aides dubbed that campaign blitz, which started in Columbus and ended in Valdosta, the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajc.com\/politics\/opinion-what-kamala-harris-and-tim-walz-learned-from-bill-clintons-1992-tour-of-south-georgia\/25T6L7TVYBFBBKIQDBQQEWN4EU\/\">Bubbas for Bill<\/a>\u201d tour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-text \" data-index=\"15\">This time, though, Clinton\u2019s stops didn\u2019t involve large rallies or a lengthy caravan that stretched into the horizon. Instead, organizers put the former president in smaller settings. There was even an <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/angelurena\/status\/1845612909847605626?s=46&amp;t=rZ65MPiF5tLq9H9D1iFZWw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">impromptu stop at a McDonald\u2019s,<\/a> where startled staffers posed for a selfie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-text \" data-index=\"19\">In Fort Valley, he was joined by U.S. Rep.

Clinton sported a brown-plaid shirt and ostrich-skin boots with a camouflage \u201cHarris Walz\u201d cap on his head.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-text \" data-index=\"20\">He praised Harris\u2019 economic plan as the best proposal to bring down the costs of groceries, and blamed Republicans for the \u201ccynicism\u201d of rejecting a bipartisan border security bill that could have weakened one of Trump\u2019s main campaign arguments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-text \" data-index=\"21\">And he highlighted the stakes of Georgia\u2019s vote. Georgia is one of seven competitive battlegrounds that could decide the November race, and both campaigns are devoting more time and attention in the state as early in-person voting begins on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-text \" data-index=\"22\">\u201cI don\u2019t know if we can make it without Georgia.
