Luke Vargas: 奥巴马与哈里斯的联合竞选集会是前总统为争取犹豫不决的男性选民而发起的全面努力的一部分。民主党希望哈里斯的竞选能借鉴奥巴马2008年和2012年竞选的成功经验,关注选民的经济困境,并争取温和派共和党人和独立选民的支持。 Catherine Lucey: 哈里斯的竞选策略与奥巴马相似,都关注中产阶级,积极争取温和派共和党人和独立选民,并避免过度强调历史意义。然而,哈里斯的竞选面临一个挑战:她难以获得男性选民的支持,这与奥巴马的竞选形成对比。奥巴马和哈里斯的竞选团队希望通过强调力量和特朗普缺乏力量来吸引男性选民。他们认为,奥巴马在吸引男性选民方面具有独特的优势,他的参与可以帮助哈里斯弥补这方面的不足。 Catherine Lucey: 哈里斯竞选团队正在努力学习奥巴马在2008年和2012年竞选中的成功经验。这些经验包括关注中产阶级,积极争取温和派共和党人和独立选民,以及避免过度强调竞选的历史意义。 然而,哈里斯的竞选也面临着一些挑战,其中最突出的是她难以获得男性选民的支持。虽然她在女性选民中表现出色,但她未能达到拜登在男性选民中的支持率。这使得她的竞选团队不得不采取一些额外的策略来争取男性选民的支持。 为了弥补这一不足,哈里斯的竞选团队正在积极寻求奥巴马的帮助。奥巴马在吸引男性选民方面具有独特的优势,他的参与可以帮助哈里斯弥补这方面的不足。此外,他们还计划通过强调力量和特朗普缺乏力量来吸引男性选民。
