Overview
- 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.
