Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign has distanced itself from former President Joe Biden after he wore a jacket with an unusual logo during a public appearance. The logo has sparked some controversy, but Ms. Harris’ campaign is focusing on their own policy initiatives and platform rather than commenting on external events.
Campaign Focus
- Policy Initiatives: Ms. Harris is running for the Democratic nomination in 2024 and has been vocal about her stance on various issues, including:
- Economic growth
- Social justice reform
When asked about the significance of the logo, Mr. Biden stated, "It’s just a nice jacket." A spokesperson for Ms. Harris clarified that they were not involved in selecting or approving any clothing choices for Mr. Biden, emphasizing that her campaign maintains its own separate team and decision-making process.
Upcoming Events and Staff Changes
- Public Events: Ms. Harris will be attending several high-profile events, including a speech at The New York Times DealBook Summit, where she will discuss her vision for economic growth.
- New Hires: Recently, Ms. Harris announced several new hires to her senior staff team, including:
- David Axelrod: Former Obama administration official, serving as chief strategist.
- Maya Wiley: Former Clinton administration official, appointed as national co-chairwoman.
Endorsements and Support
Ms. Harris has received several key endorsements from prominent Democrats, including:
- Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.)
- Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.)
- Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.)
- Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.)
- Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.)
- Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.)
These endorsements demonstrate growing support within Democratic ranks, although it remains unclear how much momentum they will generate, given that many voters are still undecided ahead of the primary elections next year.
Polling Insights
- Black Voter Support: Some polls show Kamala Harris leading among black voters, while others indicate Pete Buttigieg holding onto second place.
- White Voter Support: Among white voters, polls show Kamala leading by double digits over Pete Buttigieg.
- Recent Poll Findings:
