Black Democratic strategists are actively working to rally support for Vice President Harris' potential candidacy for president. Tonight, they will be hosting an organizing call titled 'Black Men For Harris.' The call will be co-hosted by prominent figures such as Bakari Sellers, Michael Blake, Khalil Thompson, and Quentin James.
Recently, a similar organizing call hosted by 'Win With Black Women' garnered significant attention, attracting thousands of participants and lasting for several hours. This surge in organizing efforts comes in response to Republican attempts to appeal to young Black men, prompting Democratic organizers to step up their outreach.
Quentin James highlighted a trend where Black men have shown a slight shift towards supporting Republican candidates in recent general election cycles. However, he expressed confidence in Vice President Harris' ability to connect with these voters. James praised Harris for her focus on meeting with Black entrepreneurs during economic opportunity tours and emphasized her role in driving progressive reforms as a prosecutor.
Despite potential challenges related to Harris' prosecutorial background, James believes that her track record in advancing progressive policies will resonate with voters. The strategists are determined to counter any attempts to use Harris' past against her and are actively working to ensure that her message reaches and resonates with Black male voters.
