Progressive Democrats, led by Senator Bernie Sanders, are urging presidential candidate Kamala Harris to shift her campaign focus from conservative Republicans to working-class Americans. Critics believe Harris has overly emphasized the threat of Donald Trump and neglected addressing the economic struggles faced by many Americans. Sanders expressed disappointment that Harris has not engaged more with working-class issues and highlighted the importance of reaching out to these voters. Despite accusations of being a “radical-left liberal,” Harris has been cautious about aligning herself with progressives like Sanders. This stance has led to concerns among some progressives, with estimates suggesting up to 10% may not vote for Harris due to these frustrations. In contrast, Harris plans to emphasize a forward-looking message in her campaign’s final push, targeting voters’ everyday concerns and highlighting the dangers of Trump’s erratic behavior. Trump, on the other hand, plans to focus his closing message on issues such as the economy, immigration, and crime.
