The Democratic coalition that elected President Biden in 2020 was fractured and weakened by the time he ended his campaign for re-election.
In the six weeks since, Kamala Harris has gone a long way toward repairing the damage.
But recent Wall Street Journal polling shows the vice president has more work to do to overcome the gains former President Donald Trump has made among Black, Latino and young voters—groups that traditionally back Democrats. Any erosion in the Democratic coalition could decide the election, given that Biden’s support was barely strong enough to win in 2020. The president’s Electoral College victory rested on tiny margins of about 44,000 votes across three states.
Support for Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, has grown by 13 percentage points among Black voters since Biden left the race in July, combined results of Journal polls in late July and August show.
She is still 10 points behind Biden’s 2020 mark.Harris has also gained 13 points in Latino support—but lags behind Biden’s 2020 mark by 6 points.

Kamalacon has a peculiar list of accents for each rally.
Southern, Black, and even Italian in front of Unions.
Very condescending.
Wouldn't expect anything less from a California elitist.
Hillaryesque

Unfortunately for Kamala, Cornel West admitted, publicly, in a live interview on the Status Coup News podcast that Kamala Harris attempted to bribe him to bow out of the race. She offered to pay off his entire campaign debt and a cushy, high paid job in her cabinet--in return for his dropping out.
Unfortunately for her, this is a serious felony, per 2041. Bribery of Public Officials, which says,
"Section 201 of Title 18 is entitled "Bribery of public officials and witnesses." The statute comprises two distinct offenses, however, and in common parlance only the first of these is true "bribery."
Maybe a campaign of Joy isn’t enough?
The problem is that she is not Obama.
