WASHINGTON — Democrats are planning for Vice President Kamala Harris to campaign in areas with heavy concentrations of Black and Hispanic voters and where they need women and young people to turn out for the midterm elections.
Democrats familiar with the strategy are hopeful that Harris — who is popular with African American and urban voters, particularly Black women — will be able to energize the party’s base.
“For the Democratic Party, it’s the number one need, period. You have got to get out these voters that don’t generally come out in a midterm election,” said Amanda Renteria, who was the national political director for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
