Harris Seeks Support From Women Of Color

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris has told members of the historically Black sorority Zeta Phi Beta that “we are not playing around,” and asked for their support in November. Voters in Indiana haven’t backed a Democratic presidential candidate in nearly 16 years. But the biennial meeting of roughly 6,000 people, mostly women, is part of a constituency she hopes will turn out for her in massive numbers: women of color. President Joe Biden stepped away from the race on Sunday. The Democratic campaign previously saw a narrow path for Biden but now sees a wider one for Harris, who’s of Black and South Asian descent.
