WEST ALLIS, Wis. — Vice President Kamala Harris kicked off her 105-day sprint to Election Day outside of Milwaukee on Wednesday, basking in having consolidated support in the Democratic Party. Behind the scenes, her team has been trying to quickly set up a campaign to match.
Three sources told NOTUS that Harris’ allies are trying to recruit Jim Messina, the architect and manager of former President Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign.
Messina, who has been a vocal supporter of Biden’s during his reelection campaign, was approached by Harris allies about a senior role, though the exact duties he would have weren’t immediately made clear to NOTUS. Messina declined to comment.
