Kamala Harris to highlight economic policies for Black men next week, sources say
Oct 11, 2024 11:44 AM

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris will highlight her economic policies that benefit Black men next week, hoping to win over a voting bloc that some in her campaign fear has embraced her Republican rival Donald Trump in numbers that could sway November's election, according to three sources familiar with the plans.

The policy focus will coincide with a Harris interview in Detroit on Tuesday with popular Black radio personality Charlamagne tha God, who has been critical of the Biden administration, the sources said.

Harris will discuss access to capital for Black entrepreneurs, ways to grow small businesses and housing solutions, the source said. The policies are part of her broader economic package aimed at lowering costs and boosting the middle class.

The announcement will not touch on racial justice issues, they added.
