Many Democrats believe Kamala Harris has an opening — and a need — to expand her support among rank-and-file union members.

Biden remains an unpopular president, and Republicans are seizing on her position in his administration to convince voters that Harris would be Biden 2.0 if elected.

In Pittsburgh , Harris sought to energize organized labor, which Biden courted assiduously.

A majority of voters think the economy is on the wrong track, and the vice president is a loyal member of the Biden administration that many believe is at fault.

At the moment, she is trying to thread the needle, expressing sympathy with voters over inflation and promising to crack down on price gouging.
