DETROIT — Democrats in Detroit are warning that Vice President Kamala Harris is not doing enough to reach black voters, with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 2016 loss in Michigan still front of mind for local officials.

This week, the Harris campaign unveiled its largest push yet to appeal to the black community, as polls show the vice president trailing President Joe Biden‘s 2020 support. Her campaign scheduled a series of “Black Men Huddle Up” events in battleground states, including a Tuesday organizing call she held after sitting down with popular radio host Charlamagne tha God in Detroit.
