Recent reports have surfaced regarding Black Democratic operatives raising issues with Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign for allegedly favoring White-owned political firms over minority-owned ones. According to sources, there is frustration among key figures, including Derrick Johnson of the NAACP, over the campaign's apparent lack of investment in Black-owned firms compared to previous Democratic campaigns.
During a call with campaign officials, concerns were voiced about the disparity in spending on Black vendors, with one individual stating, 'If Black voters are the base, it should be Black vendors telling the story.' The campaign's spending on minority-owned firms was noted to be significantly lower than in previous election cycles, prompting worries among Democratic consultants.
