Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign on Sunday is launching “Republicans for Harris” as she looks to win over Republican voters put off by Donald Trump’s candidacy.
The program will be a “campaign within a campaign,” according to Harris’ team, using well-known Republicans to activate their networks, with a particular emphasis on primary voters who backed former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. The program will kick off with events this week in Arizona, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Republicans backing Harris will also appear at rallies with the vice president and her soon-to-be-named running mate this coming week, the campaign said.
The Harris campaign shared the details of the program first with The Associated Press before the official announcement.
The strategy that will pick up those stray Republican votes isn’t going to moving to the right, it’s going to be focusing on the things that shouldn’t be partisan at all. Despite cosplaying as patriotic Americans, the MAGA crowd routinely positions itself in direct opposition to the core values and principles that America is supposed to stand for: liberty, equality, democracy, truth, justice, and the rule of law.
She doesn’t have to run to the right, she just has to run as someone that’s normal and point out how far from normal Trump and pals really are.
I’m not saying that the examples for your point don’t exist, but it feels like every time they do this it bites them in the ass super hard. These moves alienate people and are a great way to kill energy on the left. Unless we’re just saying that left-most voters don’t matter again.
we get energy on the left by the things they care about: thoughtful and prosocial policy. no contradiction there tbh
