Vice President Kamala Harris is intensifying her engagement with Black voters during a visit to North Carolina this weekend, aiming to address a decline in enthusiasm within this demographic. Harris is scheduled to visit a local restaurant in Raleigh on Saturday, where she will convene with various Black leaders, including elected officials, religious figures, and community representatives. This initiative is part of Harris's strategy to bolster her backing among Black voters.
During her visit to the restaurant, Harris will collaborate with volunteers on a hurricane relief supply drive to assist individuals affected by Hurricane Helene. The campaign official also mentioned that on Sunday, Harris will head to Greenville to participate in a church service and deliver a speech. This event is an extension of the campaign's efforts to mobilize Black church attendees. Additionally, Harris will engage with Black farmers in Greenville to discuss what she terms an 'opportunity economy'.
Later on Sunday, Harris is slated to host a campaign rally, further underlining her commitment to engaging with Black voters in North Carolina. The Vice President's outreach efforts underscore the significance of the Black electorate in the upcoming elections and demonstrate her dedication to addressing their concerns and priorities.
