The big event on Kamala Harris’ trip to New York two weeks ago was left off her public schedule. The vice president attended a small dinner with Black finance leaders to discuss ideas and seek help in connecting more Black voters to the reelection campaign. The dinner had been delayed due to bad weather, but the discussion intensified as polls and focus groups showed a decline in Black support for Joe Biden. The campaign is relying on Harris to improve outreach efforts to Black voters and expand beyond talking about criminal justice reform and marijuana legalization.
