A recent memo from Jen O’Malley Dillon, Chair of the Harris campaign, underscores Vice President Harris’s strong position for the upcoming November election. The memo highlights Harris’s ability to build on the coalition that secured the White House for her and President Biden, as well as her appeal to undecided voters.
O’Malley Dillon emphasized that Harris is well-positioned to challenge Donald Trump successfully, citing her popular message, robust record on key issues, and high levels of enthusiasm. “With multiple routes to 270 electoral votes and enthusiasm on her side, the Vice President is set to take on Trump and win in 104 days,” the memo stated.
The campaign will continue to focus on key Blue Wall states—Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin
The memo outlined three reasons for Harris’s solid footing: her backing from 2020 Biden-Harris voters, her capacity to expand this coalition, and the potential for appealing to undecided voters due to changes atop the Democratic ticket. The campaign has reported substantial enthusiasm, noting a fundraising total of $126 million from Sunday afternoon to Tuesday evening.
Harris’s strong support among critical Democratic demographics—Black voters, Latino voters, women, and young voters—was highlighted, with a Quinnipiac University poll showing her ahead of Trump among Black voters. The memo also pointed out Harris’s leadership on abortion rights since the overturn of Roe v. Wade, arguing that this issue could draw additional voters to her campaign.
O’Malley Dillon suggested that the race has become “more fluid” with Harris as the likely nominee, offering a chance to engage undecided voters who may be less familiar with her compared to Biden or Trump. The campaign will continue to focus on key Blue Wall states—Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin—while also targeting North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada.
The campaign’s grassroots support has been substantial, with over 100,000 new volunteers signing up and Harris’s Milwaukee rally being the largest of the cycle. “This campaign will be close and hard-fought, but Vice President Harris is in a strong position—and she’s going to win,” O’Malley Dillon concluded.
In response, Republicans have shifted their focus to attacking Harris on immigration issues, particularly her role in addressing migration from the Northern Triangle. Some attacks have been criticized as racist or sexist, though Speaker Mike Johnson has urged his party to keep the focus on policies rather than personal attacks. “This election is about policies, not personalities,” Johnson stated.
