Progressive Democrats warn Kamala Harris risks losing the support of a small but significant portion of her political base unless she changes her campaign's closing message " and its messengers " immediately. Specifically, several progressive leaders believe that the Democratic nominee has been too focused on winning over moderate Republicans in recent days at the expense of her own party's passionate liberals. And they say that Harris' closing message, which is increasingly centered on Republican Donald Trump and the threat he poses to U.S. democracy, ignores the economic struggles of the nation's working class. Some far-left leaders are also irked that Harris has shared the stage in recent days with former House Republican leader Liz Cheney and billionaire businessman Mark Cuban while progressive icons like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been relegated to low-profile roles.

However, he suggested his confidence in her campaign has been shaken recently. "There's advantages and disadvantages to coming into the race this late," he added. "The advantage is she didn't have to go through all the primaries and go through all of that that goes on that wears you down a bit. But the disadvantage is people don't know her."

Vice presidents otherwise keep a low profile, Christie noted, which has harmed Harris's recognition among Democratic voters. read more
