Harris pays early dividends for Biden campaign
PoliticoWILMINGTON, Del. — Even as Joe Biden took a commanding lead in polls over the summer, Democrats feared his campaign still lacked the vigor it would take to inspire younger voters and people of color to turn out this fall.
In less than a week as his running mate, Kamala Harris is showing signs she can act as an accelerant to his bid — and give the campaign a new dimension to excite voters heading into the Democratic convention this week.
In the few days since Harris joined the ticket, Biden has seen surging fundraising, promising polls and the rare sight of a hometown crowd — despite not being able to hold a rally.
“I think she brings with her the energy of every Black woman in the country,” said former Sen. Carol Moseley Braun of Illinois, the first Black woman elected to the chamber, and only one besides Harris.
