EMILY’s List, a political action committee whose aim is to elect female candidates who support abortion rights, is preparing to bolster Vice President Harris’s reelection bid in 2024.
An EMILY’s List spokesperson confirmed to The Hill of the group’s latest initiative to help boost Harris’s 2024 reelection bid.
Politico first reported the news on Sunday.
EMILY’s List President Laphonza Butler told the news outlet that the group’s latest push is an effort to remind voters of the politician that Harris is.
“We’re going to tell the story about who she is, what she’s done, support her at every turn and really push back against the massive misinformation and disinformation that’s been directed towards her since she’s been elected,” Butler said
Butler also told Politico that the group would target certain types of voters on various platforms when asked how would the organization spend its money.
“Some age groups and demographics get their information from things like YouTube or from TikTok. For some demographics, they are much more interpersonal and in terms of how they get and disseminate information,” Butler added.
EMILY’s List also supported Harris during the 2020 election, spending about $10 million after she was announced as Joe Biden’s running mate, Politico noted., adding that the group also manages a Twitter called “Madam Vice President,” tweeting and retweeting Harris’s accomplishments as vice president.
President Biden announced in April that he plans to run for reelection in 2024 amid weeks of speculation.
