In a recent statement, U.S. Vice Presidential nominee Kamala Harris expressed her beliefs regarding the upcoming November elections. She spoke to NABJ (the National Association of Black Journalists), emphasizing the value she places on the Black community’s votes.
Harris stated that she does not take the votes of the Black community for granted and expects to earn their vote. According to Harris, it’s not enough to rely on traditional societal assumptions or previous affiliations of Black voters’ support to the Democratic party. She believes it is crucial to actively engage with and work towards addressing the issues that concern them.
These comments presumably reflect her dedication to represent and give voice to the Black community’s needs and issues. She also aims to accentuate how the Biden-Harris campaign plans to put forth efforts to ensure racial equality and justice, not just within the realms of law enforcement, but also in economic and healthcare aspects.
With the November election drawing near, these statements by Harris highlight the expectations set for the political rallies and the importance of the Black vote in potentially determining the election outcome. Receiving the Black community’s support will not be a given, but rather, something Harris plans to earn.
