Dem. Senator Klobuchar Takes Her Presidential Campaign to Georgia
Sen. Amy Klobuchar will meet with former President Jimmy Carter and Democrat Stacey Abrams on Friday as she brings her presidential campaign to Georgia.
Klobuchar spokeswoman Carlie Waibel says the Minnesota Democrat will meet privately with Abrams, who lost a bid for governor last year and delivered the Democratic response to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address earlier this month.
Klobuchar and Carter will speak about her campaign during their meeting, which is also private. Carter's vice president, Walter Mondale, also represented Minnesota in the Senate and has been one of Klobuchar's political mentors.
Klobuchar also will attend a roundtable discussion on voting rights with local leaders and activists before a fundraiser Friday night in Atlanta.
Klobuchar also will campaign this weekend in South Carolina and New Hampshire
