"They’re Knocking On Doors For Harris. But They Still Won’t Endorse Her."

"The Sunrise Movement plans to contact 1.5 million Americans about voting for Kamala Harris. But it is waiting to decide about endorsing her until her climate plans are clearer."

"Ever since she replaced Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket, Kamala Harris has energized young voters and environmental groups, with her campaign hoping the combination can provide the vice president with a winning margin in November.

But one influential climate group led by young people, the Sunrise Movement, isn’t totally on board.

For now, the Sunrise Movement is withholding an endorsement even as it ramps up phone-banking, door-knocking and digital ad campaigns in support of Harris, according to a new strategy shared with The Washington Post before its public release Tuesday. The group plans to contact 1.5 million young Americans about voting for Harris, up from a goal of 1 million when Biden was the Democratic nominee, but is awaiting details of Harris’s climate agenda before deciding on an endorsement and next steps."

Maxine Joselow reports for the Washington Post August 27, 2024.
