Vice President Kamala Harris has reached out to her supporters, urging them to sign up to receive updates on her upcoming selection of a running mate. This move is seen as an opportunity for Harris to expand her supporter base ahead of the much-anticipated announcement.
In an email to her supporters, Harris emphasized the importance of keeping grassroots supporters informed about the progress of the selection process. She stated, 'Though I have not made my decision yet, it is important to me that grassroots supporters have direct updates about the state of the race.'
Harris expressed her desire for supporters to be the first to know about her choice for Vice President, inviting them to join an exclusive list that will receive immediate notification when the news is revealed.
If Harris follows through with announcing her running mate to supporters first, it would be reminiscent of President Joe Biden's approach in 2020. Biden informed his supporters of his selection of Harris as his running mate through text and email on August 11, 2020.
This strategy not only engages supporters but also serves as a way to energize Harris' base and generate excitement leading up to the announcement. By involving grassroots supporters in the decision-making process, Harris aims to foster a sense of inclusivity and transparency within her campaign.
