Harris gains support from Black women voters with focus on maternal health and gun control

Vice President Kamala Harris is gaining support from Black women voters, driven by her focus on maternal health, reproductive rights, and gun control. Polls show 77% of Black voters support her, a significant increase since President Biden's exit from the race. Harris' initiatives to address high maternal mortality rates among Black women and her push for gun reform resonate strongly with this demographic. Recent data indicates that nearly 70% of Black women are highly motivated to vote, up from 51% in July. Harris' efforts have revitalized enthusiasm among Black women, crucial for Democratic turnout in battleground states. This renewed support contrasts with earlier concerns about declining voter engagement before her nomination.
