Kamala Harris's Potential Appeal to Soft Republicans
Kamala Harris is viewed as a candidate who may attract soft Republicans disillusioned with Donald Trump. These voters, particularly those known as 'Dobbs Dads,' have shown increasing concern over governmental control since the Dobbs decision regarding abortion. The grassroots organization called the Union aims to sway these Republicans to either support Harris or abstain from voting for Trump, highlighting the importance of pivotal voter demographics. By targeting these groups and shifting their alignment, Harris could significantly impact election outcomes, even with a modest number of converted voters.
