Vice President Kamala Harris has not enlisted help from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail less than two weeks before the election, signaling a lack of emphasis on the historical significance of her candidacy. Harris is focusing on making inroads with specific voters, particularly men, and Clinton is expected to do at least one event for the Harris campaign in the final week of the election. Despite endorsing Harris in July and headlining fundraisers, Clinton has not been heavily involved in Harris’ campaign. Harris does not speak about breaking the glass ceiling on the campaign trail, choosing to focus on what she will do for voters rather than her historical candidacy. There is a wariness among Harris aides about reminding voters of the 2016 election, as Harris presents herself as a change candidate. Clinton is currently on a book tour, warning voters about a potential Trump return to the White House. While Clinton is seen as an asset by the campaign, her messaging of “I’m With Her” was not successful in defeating Trump, leading the campaign to focus more on freedom for the voter than the candidate.
