VP Harris visits Dalton to promote clean energy and manufacturing growth.

Contracted workers in Dalton, Georgia, were reportedly told to stay home and submit paid time off (PTO) for Vice President Kamala Harris's visit to the area. An HR representative for the company that employs the workers confirmed the policy, stating that it was necessary due to security concerns and the short notice of the visit. The decision has been criticized by some as unfair to the workers, who may not have enough PTO to cover the unexpected absence.
