Philadelphia Democratic leader criticizes Kamala Harris campaign for lack of local engagement

Bob Brady, the Democratic Chair in Philadelphia, criticized Kamala Harris's campaign for being "elitist" and not coordinating with local Democrats. He believes this lack of engagement contributed to her lower-than-expected vote total in the city. Harris won Philadelphia but received fewer votes than Joe Biden did in 2020. Turnout was also lower, at 62.89 percent, although Brady's team expects final numbers to match 2020 levels. A Harris campaign spokesperson countered Brady's claims, stating they knocked on over two million doors before the election. They dismissed Brady's comments as unfounded and criticized his leadership in the party.
