GREENSBORO, N.C. — Vice President Kamala Harris is trying out a new strategy that includes more media and a rigorous travel schedule to battleground states this week as the campaign signals that it’s entering a more intense phase of the election.

It’s an implicit recognition that more is required to get them through the last 50 days of an already truncated campaign season successfully, given that the election is expected to be decided on razor-thin margins.

While Democrats eagerly await high-quality data to see if Harris’ widely praised debate performance translates to a shake-up in the somewhat stalled polls, the vice president hit the trail, trying to turn the debate into momentum on the ground.
