Harris sits with Charlamagne, Fox, maybe Rogan as polls tighten
By Trevor Hunnicutt
WASHINGTON, Oct 15 (Reuters) -U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris campaigns in Detroit on Tuesday, aiming to shore up support among Black men by capping the trip to the crucial 2024 election state of Michigan by appearing with radio host Charlamagne tha God.
Charlamagne, a Black comedian and author who hosts radio program "The Breakfast Club," is known for his blunt interviews of celebrities. A Harris supporter, he has been critical of her and President Joe Biden in the past and called Democrats "cowards" for ineffectively prosecuting a case against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
His interview with Harris will be broadcast by iHeartRadio IHRT.O at 5 p.m. Eastern time (2100 GMT).
On Wednesday, Harris will be interviewed on Fox News, the conservative-leaning network which paida $787 million settlement in 2023 to a voting machine company that sued it over false claims by some Fox hosts of vote-rigging in the 2020 presidential election.
She is also weighing joining the podcaster Joe Rogan, whose show reaches millions of men across the political spectrum, and who has joked that a "puppet master" was behind Harris' strong debate performance against Trump.
The effort reflects increasing anxiety within Democratic circles about Harris' waning momentum in the handful of decisive election states and fears that her under-performance with men, and Black men in particular, could doom her bid for the White House.
Harris' lead over Trump has narrowed in recent days, several polls show. Her lead dropped from six points to three points in the latest national Reuters/Ipsos poll and other battleground state polls show the two in a dead heat.
Harris has been on a media blitz in recent days, speaking with friendly hosts from comedy shows, talk shows and internet podcasts.
During her fifth trip to the Detroit area since launching her campaign in July, Harris will also promote a set of recently unveiled policy proposals aimed at Black men, including forgivable small business loans and access to a new legal recreational marijuana industry. She is visiting with a Black-owned small business.
The Harris campaign and Democrats - including former President Barack Obama - have expressed deep concern about whether Black men will turn out on Nov. 5 in numbers seen in past elections and whether they will support Harris or Trump.
If elected, Harris would be the second Black president and first Black woman in the office.
Over a quarter of young Black men say they would support Trump in the election race, according to a September poll by the NAACP, the nation's largest civil rights organization. President Joe Biden got about 80% of the Black male vote in 2020.
