Harris Campaign Identifies as Underdog in 2024

As the 2024 presidential campaign intensifies, Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign insists they remain the 'clear underdogs' despite favorable polling and fundraising success. Campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon emphasized the need for vigilance against a motivated Donald Trump base, citing potential razor-thin margins in the upcoming election, similar to the narrow results of 2020. Harris has reportedly raised over $540 million and mobilized thousands of volunteers to enhance their ground operations in key battleground states. The campaign's strategy involves countering Trump's policies and leveraging Harris's leads on issues such as the economy and gun violence. While her polling has improved since taking the lead from President Biden, the campaign aims to manage expectations to avoid complacency among supporters. Ultimately, the outcome will hinge on the ability to engage diverse voter coalitions and the effectiveness of their grassroots efforts against Trump's established support.
