Kamala Harris’ campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon recently shared insights on the vice president's upcoming speech at the Democratic National Convention. Dillon emphasized that the speech will focus on highlighting Harris' biography and background, recognizing that many Americans are not familiar with her story.
In a virtual discussion with the Washington Post, Dillon expressed the importance of introducing Harris to the American people, stating that her life experiences, jobs, personal connections, and values have shaped her into the leader she is today. The goal is to provide a deeper understanding of Harris and how she aims to make a difference in people's lives.
Dillon acknowledged the energy and excitement surrounding Harris but noted that there is still a lack of awareness about the vice president among the public. She mentioned that Harris will also discuss her vision for the country and address the critical issues at stake in the upcoming election during her speech.
Regarding the electoral strategy, Dillon highlighted that the campaign's electoral map is broader than that of former President Donald Trump. She mentioned specific expansion targets, including states like North Carolina and Georgia, where they see significant opportunities.
On the topic of debates, Dillon stated that the Harris campaign will not engage in further negotiations until Trump confirms his participation in the September debate. However, she mentioned that Harris is open to participating in additional debates if the opportunity arises.
Furthermore, Dillon assured that Harris would be addressing questions from the press by the end of the month, indicating a commitment to transparency and communication with the media.
