"Christopher Lawrence, political science department chair and professor at Middle Georgia State University, explained what he suspects is an internal strategy by the Harris-Walz campaign to reach the Middle Georgia market in a swing state that could be crucial for either Harris or former President Donald Trump to win the November election.
