Kamala Harris Endorsed By Higher Heights

Higher Heights is the largest online political organization dedicated to harnessing, organizing and mobilizing Black women’s political power.
Kamala Harris Endorsed By Higher Heights
Kamala Harris is stronger in some parts than others but fine overall. She needed to be more than fine to re-energize her campaign, however. I continue to believe she is an attractive candidate with a plausible path to the nomination and the presidency, but it’s being stymied by an overall campaign that often feels aimless. As I mentioned recently, voters tend to like Harris personally but there’s no specific policy vision or overarching theme to captivate you fully with her candidacy. Good luck with that because I don’t think randomly poking a fight with Elizabeth Warren about banning the president of the United States of America is it. To her credit, though, she explained the matter better in a post-debate exchange with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes. Then again, it’s the second debate I can think of where her best moment was after the debate.

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) picked up the endorsement of Higher Heights, the country’s largest political organization that seeks to harness and mobilize Black women voters, and of course, elect Black women to office.

The endorsement comes as Harris continues to trail behind in the polls, but her campaign continues to push along.

More recently, it was announced that Harris would lay off staff and cut costs in her campaign in an effort to keep up with her competitors and be “all in” on her Iowa strategy.

However, according to the Associated Press, Higher Heights co-founder said that the organization is standing behind Harris, due to her qualifications, her record as an elected official, and her push to highlight issues that affect Black women.
