Old fashion’Retail Politics’ . something Donald Trump shy’s away from…..
Fresh off a blitz of star-studded rallies, Ms. Harris focused on retail politicking in Philadelphia on Sunday as her campaign makes its final push to mobilize working-class communities and people of color to the polls.
In neighborhoods across the city, Ms. Harris delivered tailored messages to different groups of voters as she continued her effort to secure the crucial “blue wall” states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. It was Ms. Harris’s 14th visit to Pennsylvania since she became the Democratic presidential nominee, and her seventh to the Philadelphia area.
“Victory runs through Philly,” she said while visiting a Black bookstore, Hakim’s Bookstore and Gift Shop. “It runs through Pennsylvania.”
Ms. Harris started the day at a predominantly Black church, where she warned parishioners that “these next nine days will test us,” and brought them to their feet when she told them, “We were born for a time such as this.”
Darryl Thomas, 52, the owner of Philly Cuts, said that Ms. Harris had spent much of the time discussing what Black men were looking for from their next president. He said that she had “good dialogue” with the group.
“Black males are the most disenfranchised individuals in America,” he said. “This is a time when the playing field needs to be leveled and fair. We’re not asking for extras.”
Ms. Harris ended her day with a get-out-the-vote rally at a community center, during which she told energetic supporters they had the “power” to make their voices heard at the ballot box.
“There is too much on the line, and we must not wake up the day after the election and have any regrets about what we could have done in these next nine days,” she said. “So let’s spend these next nine days knowing we did everything we could.”……
