Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday vowed to help Black voters in a key swing state, but the Democratic presidential nominee did not propose any policy changes for the war in Gaza as she tries to repair a frayed relationship with Arab Americans.
“I’m working to earn the vote, not assuming I’m going to have it because I’m Black,” Harris said in Philadelphia, calling “our young Black men … the backbone of our economy — and when they do better, we all do better.”
She again pushed her proposals to help that group, including a proposal to greatly increase a federal benefit to help Black Americans — and others — start their own businesses.
