Progressive Democrats, including Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, are urging Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, to adjust her campaign's closing message. According to the Associated Press, Sanders and others have expressed concerns that Harris is overly focused on her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, and the perceived danger he poses to U.S. democracy. This approach, they argue, aims to appeal to moderate Republicans while neglecting the economic hardships faced by working-class Americans. Some progressive leaders are also frustrated that notable figures like Sanders and New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have not been prominently featured in the campaign.
“The truth of the matter is that there are a hell of a lot more working-class people who could vote for Kamala Harris than there are conservative Republicans,” Sanders noted in a Thursday interview with AP.
He emphasized his commitment to supporting Harris’s campaign, mentioning that he had participated in two dozen events this month, primarily in rural regions, although without her presence.
“She has to start talking more to the needs of working-class people,” Sanders stated, adding, “I wish this had taken place two months ago. It is what it is.”
The report highlights that while Trump’s associates have labeled Harris a “radical-left liberal,” she has been hesitant to team up with progressives such as Sanders. Instead, her campaign has included appearances with Liz Cheney, a neoconservative figure whom Trump has criticized as a “dumb War Hawk” who desires conflict with “every Muslim country known to mankind.”
Joseph Geevarghese, the executive director of the progressive organization Our Revolution, has suggested that approximately 10% of progressives might abstain from voting for Harris due to their dissatisfaction. He indicated that some may not vote at all, while others might even support Trump, as reported by AP.
In the coming days, Harris is set to deliver a significant speech near the White House, the same location where Trump addressed supporters just before the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Her closing message to voters is expected to emphasize her vision for the country's future and her commitment to defending their everyday freedoms. Sources familiar with her strategy indicated that she will persist in critiquing Trump, asserting that he is “increasingly unhinged and unstable” and that his pursuit of “unchecked power” poses a significant threat.
Meanwhile, Trump is scheduled to present his own closing argument on Sunday at Madison Square Garden in New York City, where he is expected to address average Americans' frustration with the nation's trajectory. His campaign will focus on issues such as the economy, inflation, immigration, crime, and foreign policy.
