Progressive Democrats are cautioning Kamala Harris that she risks alienating part of her political base if adjustments to her campaign's final pitch and representatives are not made promptly.

Notably, Harris's strategy of courting moderate Republicans over the last few days has displeased many progressive leaders who feel her current focus on denouncing Donald Trump jeopardizes the acknowledgment of economic hardships faced by working-class citizens.

Leading figures in the progressive movement are advocating for Harris to address voter pessimism about the nation's economy in her campaign messaging amidst the approaching Election Day.
