Roundup: Obamas Back Harris; Bigoted Tropes Could Irk Voters
Listen now
Description
Vice President Harris continues to pull in fistfuls of money and has secured another key endorsement from Barack and Michelle Obama. And racist tropes helped Trump to dominate his Republican opponents in the 2016 presidential primary, but now some conservatives are warning Republicans to dial back similar attacks against Harris to avoid alienating key general election voters.
