DNC Launches Bus Tour to Boost Kamala Harris's Support Among Black Voters
With two weeks until the election, the DNC is focusing on key southern states to court Black voters amid slipping support.
- The Democratic National Committee has initiated a cross-country bus tour starting in Jacksonville, Florida, to engage Black voters ahead of the upcoming election.
- DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison is leading the tour, which will visit states like Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, emphasizing Kamala Harris's economic agenda for Black Americans.
- Recent polls show a decline in support for Harris among Black voters, with a New York Times-Siena poll indicating only 71% backing her candidacy.
- To address this, the DNC has launched targeted campaigns, including a Creole initiative for Haitian American voters, and appearances at events like Howard University's homecoming.
- Harris has also been reaching out to disaffected Republican voters, campaigning with former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney to broaden her appeal.
