Democrats neglect downballot races. Harris is part of the solution

On Tuesday, representatives for Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign announced an ambitious plan to transfer almost $25 million in campaign cash to downballot Democrats across the country. The funds will support an array of organizations, including the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, the Democratic Governors Association, and the Democratic Attorney Generals Association.

That massive transfer represents more than just a much-needed lifeline to cash-starved state and local campaigns. It’s also a window into how Harris thinks about politics.
