Vice President Kamala Harris, just before a historical election, has not yet enlisted help from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail, highlighting Harris’ focus on specific voter groups rather than emphasizing the historic nature of her candidacy. Despite this, Clinton is expected to campaign for Harris in the final stretch of the race. Harris has chosen not to focus on breaking the glass ceiling on the campaign trail, instead opting to highlight her policies and what she can offer voters. The campaign is cautious about reminding voters of the 2016 election, where Clinton lost to Donald Trump, as Harris is positioning herself as a change candidate. Clinton has been touring to promote her new book, warning voters about a potential Trump return to the White House. Despite Clinton’s past electoral strategy, the Harris campaign sees her as an asset, but is focusing more on the voter and their freedom rather than the candidate, as the messaging of “I’m With Her” was not successful in the past. The campaign is prioritizing reaching voters rather than highlighting the historical significance of Harris’ candidacy.
