Progressives Warn Harris Must Change Her Closing Message as the Election Looms

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

66% : Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, praised Harris' advertising team for "smartly" investing hundreds of millions of dollars behind ads focusing on grocery prices, taxing billionaires and Social Security -- "things that both win swing voters and pump up the base.
51% : She will deliver the speech on Tuesday at the Ellipse in Washington, the same location where Trump hosted the rally that preceded the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
46% : She has outlined plans to crack down on price gouging by corporations to help reduce the cost of groceries in addition to reducing the cost of prescription drugs, cutting taxes on the middle class while raising taxes on billionaires, offering a $25,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers to help lower housing costs, and expanding Medicare to cover vision and hearing coverage, among other things.
43% : Some may not cast a ballot at all, he said, while some may even support Trump.
39% : But the campaign sees a major opportunity to expand her coalition by winning over disaffected Republicans, especially college-educated voters in the nation's suburbs, who are uneasy about Trump.
36% : Meanwhile, Trump is continuing to lean in on the issues that his campaign sees as his strongest: the economy and inflation, immigration, crime and foreign policy.
27% : President Trump very clearly is going to fix the economy and fix the border," said Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller, who argued Harris, with her focus on Trump, wasn't talking about how she will make life better for the vast majority of Americans.
16% : Of that 10%, some 7% are considered "Cheney Republicans" who are receptive to messages attacking Trump, the aide said.
15% : Harris is scheduled to deliver a major address next week, a formal closing argument of sorts, focused on the danger Trump poses to U.S. democracy.
