The Harris-Walz campaign recently unveiled a new advertisement aimed at engaging Latino voters in crucial battleground states. The 60-second ad showcases Kamala Harris' background, emphasizing her immigrant roots and the trajectory of her political career.
The ad highlights Harris' upbringing as the daughter of immigrants, underscoring the message that with determination, anything is achievable. It traces her journey from working at McDonald's to becoming a prosecutor, state attorney general, U.S. senator, and ultimately the vice president, all within a single generation.
The narrative in the ad portrays Harris as a steadfast advocate for the people. It mentions her track record of protecting communities as a prosecutor, holding banks accountable for housing crises as attorney general, and championing women's reproductive rights and affordable healthcare as vice president.
Recent polling data following President Joe Biden's decision not to seek reelection indicates a shift in Latino voter support towards Harris. The numbers show an increase in favorability towards Harris, with 57% of Latino voters now supporting her compared to 38% for Trump.
