Harris Campaign Update: Navigating the Final Stretch
In her statement on September 1st, Harris-Walz Campaign Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon shared that as the 2024 election draws near, Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign is ramping up efforts to secure victory despite a challenging landscape. Since joining the race in late July, Harris has seen record-breaking fundraising, increased volunteer interest, and heightened voter enthusiasm. Her campaign's focus is on overcoming a motivated Donald Trump, who currently enjoys robust support and high favorability.
With only 65 days remaining, the race is expected to be as tight as the 2020 election, where just 40,000 votes decided several battleground states. Harris's campaign strategy hinges on building a diverse coalition and showcasing a clear contrast with Trump. Harris is emphasizing her agenda on middle-class tax cuts, affordable housing, and healthcare, while also championing reproductive rights—a key issue for voters.
Recent polls show Harris gaining traction on important issues, such as crime, democracy, and abortion. However, Trump’s controversial Project 2025 remains a significant obstacle, as voters increasingly oppose its extreme proposals. Harris’s campaign is leveraging a $370 million advertising budget to highlight these differences and promote her agenda.
Ground game efforts are crucial, with Harris’s campaign operating in every key battleground state and making significant inroads with voters. The campaign's infrastructure includes over 300 offices and 2,000 staff members, supporting an aggressive outreach strategy that includes new initiatives to engage Latino and Black voters, as well as college students.
The upcoming presidential debate on September 10 and the start of early voting are critical milestones. Harris, along with Governor Tim Walz and a network of surrogates, will intensify their campaign efforts, focusing on key battleground states. The campaign is also bolstering its voter protection efforts, with a historic number of staff and volunteers dedicated to ensuring every vote counts.
In summary, as ethe campaign enters the final stretch, Harris’s team is determined to leverage their message and extensive operational resources to overcome the tight race against Trump and secure a path to victory.
