Vice PresidentĀ Kamala Harrisā campaign on Sunday is launching āRepublicans for Harrisā as she looks to win over Republican voters put off byĀ Donald Trumpās candidacy.
The program will be a ācampaign within a campaign,ā according to Harrisā team, using well-known Republicans to activate their networks, with a particular emphasis on primary voters who backed former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. The program will kick off with events this week in Arizona, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Republicans backing Harris will also appear at rallies with the vice president and her soon-to-be-named running mate this coming week, the campaign said.
The Harris campaign shared the details of the program first with The Associated Press before the official announcement.
They already made āWhite Guys for Harrisā thoā¦ Badump bump pish!
I get that this is a joke, but part of the point of that group is that we (white guys) are not exclusively Republicans and/or Trump supporters, we just donāt know how to speak up in a diverse group without fulfilling the expectation of condescension. So we keep quiet and let women, people of color, and lgbtq folks do the talking while we act as allies, votes, and window dressing. White Guys for Harris is attempting to dismantle this order and say, weāre not all shitheads and we do fully support an inclusive future.
As a white guy, Harris is the first candidate Iāve been excited to vote for in my adult life.
I think itās important to show that not every white guy is a misogynistic racist. Especially in todayās political environment.
