Voting groups that got a boost from Harris’ candidacy are still working to persuade voters of color

WASHINGTON (AP) — Left-leaning voter engagement groups saw a surge in support and energy after Kamala Harris replaced President Joe Biden as the party’s White House nominee this summer. Now, in the final stretch before Election Day, they’re trying to turn out uncommitted voters of color. But many of those groups are finding they still have much work to do to introduce Harris and her policies. The challenges reflect Harris’ late start to the campaign and attempts to overcome the earlier lack of enthusiasm for a rematch between Biden and Donald Trump. Persuading voters of color, particularly Black and Latino men, has become a top priority for both campaigns.
