Trial Balloon · Ep. 192: November Surprises

Liberal Groups Find Kamala Harris Polls Well

July 14, 2024 · 1:09 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“As President Joe Biden continues to face pressure to step aside as the Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris is balancing being ready to step in for him and defending him to party donors and operatives — including some who have already begun investing in bolstering Harris no matter which position she ultimately ends up in on the ticket,” NBC News reports.

“They are dedicating resources to advertising and collecting polling data on public perceptions of Harris as many Democrats have begun coalescing around the idea that she could not be passed over if Biden dropped out and as Republicans have stepped up attacks against her since Biden’s dismal debate.”

“And while Harris has made it clear she remains loyal to Biden, her support within the party has grown in the last two weeks, especially as research from some Democratic groups finds she could be particularly good at mobilizing young, Black and Latino voters.”
