Kamala Harris' 'generic Democrat' campaign is smart strategy: polling expert

Raw Story  

New York Times polling expert Nate Cohn this week talked about Vice President Kamala Harris's rise in swing-state polls and he credited her newfound strength among voters to running what he described as a "generic" campaign. In an interview with the Times' "The Daily" podcast, Cohn analyzed Harris' campaign speeches and found that she is not saying anything different than what you'd expect to hear from other Democratic candidates: A focus on abortion rights, building an economy through the middle class, and universal paid family leave. "Some of this stuff is linked to her biography, such as that she's a prosecutor, but most of this is stuff that can be said by just about any Democrat," Cohn noted. Host Michael Barbaro at this point interjected to note that there is little "generic" about Harris, as she would not only be the first woman to win the presidency, but also the first woman of color.
