Bill Clinton is campaigning for Kamala Harris in Georgia, North Carolina

Kamala Harris' presidential campaign dispatched Bill Clinton to key states 22 days after Election Day.

The former president campaigned on behalf of Harris in Albany, Georgia, on Sunday, speaking to parishioners at Mount Zion Baptist Church. The Harris campaign announced Thursday that Clinton is scheduled to headline a bus tour of eastern North Carolina this week.

Both Harris and former President Trump visited the Tar Heel State after Hurricane Helene.

“Uniting people and building them up, repairing the gap, as Isaiah says, those are the things that work,” Clinton said Sunday at Mount Zion Baptist Church. “Acclamations, divisions, humiliations – they get you a lot of votes in the election campaign, but they don’t work.”

“This whole election and the future of the country will be revealed over the next three and a half weeks as what people who were undecided about the election will do,” Clinton added, addressing the congregation. “This is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.”

While the black church was not completely full, a large crowd greeted Clinton with a standing ovation, according to the Associated Press. Many attendees were older, but a few younger people were scattered in the pews.

Albany was an early battleground in the fight for civil rights. The city gained national attention when hundreds of protesters, including Martin Luther King Jr., were arrested and imprisoned in 1961 and 1962.

Clinton, who was governor of Arkansas before his presidency, also spoke at the Harris campaign office in Albany and said he had asked the campaign to send him to rural areas where he felt most comfortable.

The 42nd president's visit to the two battleground states is a new attempt by the Harris-Walz campaign to appeal to rural voters who have traditionally voted Republican in recent presidential elections.

Trump's campaign launched a three-day bus tour of North Carolina last week, with Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., and several former Trump administration officials campaigning on behalf of the Republican presidential nominee.

Democrats see Clinton as someone who can mobilize both rural and black voters. But while Clinton has been recognized for his popularity in black communities in the South, it remains to be seen whether he can still inspire black voters as the population familiar with his presidency ages, according to the AP.

Georgia is one of seven states considered crucial in this year's presidential race, and black voter turnout could be key for Democrats to win the state's 16 electoral votes.

According to the AP, President Biden won Georgia in 2020 with 11,779 votes out of more than 5 million cast. It was the first time a Democrat took the state since Clinton in 1992. Four years later, Clinton lost the state to Republican Bob Dole but won re-election.

In 1992, Clinton and then-Sen. Al Gore drove a campaign bus through southwest Georgia to woo rural voters. Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz revived the approach early in the campaign, visiting Savannah and Liberty County in the southeastern part of the state, but they did not travel west.
