Yesterday, Anat Shenker-Osorio gave five pairs of “dos and don’ts” for the Harris–Walz campaign: Five things Harris — and you — can do to close the deal. It’s a post on The Ink, to which I subscribe.
Here's one, which I've condensed:
“Run like you’re leading the winning team” and don’t “act like underdogs”
Say that voters will turn out and that we’ll get Kamala Harris sworn into office.
"The campaign can’t just be saying, 'Harris is going to win,' as if the win fairy was going to come down from the heavens…What we need to be saying…is that voters are turning out in record numbers to swear in Kamala Harris…We say 'swear in' and not 'elect' because we gotta get this ball all the way down the field…through January 6th, and all of the rest of it."
If you grant Trump the narrative that he’s winning and that Harris is the underdog, he’ll draw on that narrative when he disputes a Harris victory.
Local elections are important too
I voted early today - a thing that is only possible in NY in 2024 bc Run for Something helped flip the NY state senate back in 2018, one of countless examples on how winning the big elections (🤞🤞) is only possible bc we’ve been winning the small elections for the last 8 years.
