(Bloomberg) -- Joe Biden will travel to Georgia on Tuesday, the Democratic presidential nominee’s first campaign trip to a state that hasn’t voted for a Democrat since 1992 but one where polls show a tight race.

Biden plans to travel to Warm Springs and Atlanta, according to his campaign, as Democrats focus on flipping a state that’s been trending in their direction.

The former vice president will speak “on bringing Americans together to address the crises facing our nation,” his campaign said.

President Donald Trump won Georgia by five percentage points in 2016, but Democrats have made inroads in the state, particularly among white, college educated voters. The RealClearPolitics average of state polls has Trump and Biden tied.

2. For Biden to be campaigning in Georgia and Trump in Ohio 10 days out

I mean...

That's pretty positive.

3. It would be great if he won..not sure. I bet the GA Dems are thrilled. It's got to help state wide

4. I'm in GA, but I don't want Biden to come here. Time spent here is time I would prefer

him to be campaigning in states he really needs to win the presidency.

5. Wouldn't GA be a sweet flip, though? nt

6. It would be fantastic.

10. True. Polls Do Not Reflect Votes That Might Be Suppressed

In Texas and Georgia, you have Governors going through extreme efforts to limit polling locations. Do the polls really reflect whether people would be willing to stand in line for hours or drive a long way where the State Government has cut polling or ballot drop box locations? Polling does not equal votes.

We need people to be heroic like John Lewis in being willing to overcome the racist barriers to voting that the Republican party has embraced. In some states, Democracy is failing as Republicans work the system to choose their voters, rather than allowing voters to choose their leaders.

8. Kamala was just in Atlanta on Friday

and one of my cousins who lives in the area drove by where she was and had been trying to find a place to park to get to see her.

I would love to see Georgia swing into the blue column.

11. I don't trust their voting machines.

It's one of the states most likely to be stolen. Especially since it's close.

13. Their Voting Machines Are Not the Problem. It Is Getting to a Voting Machine

I think too many people talk about "stolen votes" or some sort of conspiracy regarding voting counts. That is not the problem. The problem is right in front of us in the form of voter suppression and a reduction in polling sites. When you see a long line with people waiting hours on end, you do not need to change the votes cast, because you have simply prevented people from casting votes in the first place.
