Vice President Kamala Harris is tweaking her campaign plan as the race for the White House heats up. With polls showing a tight contest against Donald Trump Harris team is now zeroing in on male voters and Republicans.
Recent surveys suggest a neck-and-neck race in crucial states‚ causing some unease among Democrats. A senior campaign aide admitted‚ “This was always going to be a tight race that doesnt mean were not losing sleep over it.“ The campaigns internal polls show Harris within the margin of error in seven battleground states – a fact thats got strategists on edge.
To counter Trumps tough-guy image‚ Harris is bringing back her prosecutor style from July. Sheʼs sitting down with various media figures to reach different groups: Charlamagne tha God for Black men Fox News for conservatives‚ and maybe Joe Rogan for young male listeners.
The campaign is also stepping up its ground game in battleground states. However‚ some local Democrats feel left out. Byron Nolen‚ mayor of Inkster Michigan‚ said‚ “In my brain they could have done Michigan better: Were still trying to get people excited.“
This is an election for president of the United States. Its not supposed to be easy
Despite the challenges‚ the Harris team remains hopeful. Campaign chair Jen OʼMalley Dillon wrote to staff‚ “Our strategy is to compete everywhere expand the map; and maximize the number of pathways to victory.“ With the election just around the corner (11/5/24) its anyones guess whoʼll come out on top
