ATHENS, GA — Vice President JD Vance will visit Athens on Tuesday as part of a multi-campus college tour.
The visit will be hosted by the University of Georgia’s chapter of Turning Point USA, the conservative youth organization founded by Charlie Kirk who was fatally shot last year during an event in Utah.
UGA’s chapter of Young Democrats plans to protest.
Kirk’s widow Erika is also expected to be a part of Tuesday’s event.
Vance’s visit comes just five weeks before Georgia’s primary elections ahead of the November midterms.
The event is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. at Akins Ford Arena at the Classic Center in downtown Athens.
