DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison, who kicked \u200coff the tour on the second day of early voting in Florida,\u200b highlighted the importance of the black vote in a \u200dstate \u2063that\u200d has leaned towards Republicans in recent elections. Harrison emphasized the party&#8217;s agenda focused on economic opportunities for black\u200d men \u200cand \u200bcriticized\u200b former President Donald Trump\u2019s policies, suggesting \u200dthey would\u2064 negatively impact the black community. The\u200c tour will also include stops in Georgia, North Carolina,\u200d and South Carolina. In\u200d an effort to\u200b mobilize support,\u2063 the\u2063 DNC has uniquely targeted Haitian American voters through a Creole campaign, demonstrating a\u200b strategic approach \u200bto rally black \u2063voters around Harris\u2019s candidacy.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">DNC drives in to help Harris court <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/its-happening-trump-now-up-in-michigan-florida-pennsylvania-and-tied-in-wisconsin-and-black-hispanic-and-evangelical-vote-is-up-from-2016\/\" title=\"IT&#039;S HAPPENING!

For the first time, the party crafted a Creole campaign targeted at Haitian American voters. Earlier this week, the DNC appeared at the historically black university Howard&rsquo;s 100th homecoming.<\/p>\n<p>Harris is struggling to rally traditionally Democratic voters. A <em>New York Times<\/em>-Siena College poll shows 71% of&nbsp;black&nbsp;registered voters choosing Harris for president.
