ATLANTA — When Vice President Harris headlines a rally Tuesday evening in battleground Georgia's capital and largest city, she'll stand in front of the largest crowd this cycle for the Democratic Party's national ticket.
Hours before the vice president arrived in Atlanta, the Georgia State Convocation Center, which has a listed capacity of 8,000 people for concerts, was filling up with supporters.
It's another sign of the energy and excitement that's returning to the party nine days after President Biden's blockbuster announcement that he was suspending his re-election campaign against former President Trump and endorsing his vice president.

Biden's immediate backing of Harris ignited a surge of endorsements for the vice president by Democrat governors, senators, House members and other party leaders and elders. Within 36 hours, Harris announced that she had locked up her party's nomination by landing the verbal backing of a majority of the nearly 4,000 convention delegates.
"Freedom is on the ballot this November. That is why I will be in Atlanta tonight with @theestallion to talk about the stakes of this election," the vice president wrote in a social media post on her way to Atlanta.
Rapper Megan Thee Stallion is expected to perform at the rally, which received nearly 20,000 RSPVs ahead of the event.
