Her team needs to be cautious of this as Harris running for president can be controversial for people who didn’t vote for her or don’t agree with her stances. This shows how the article is targeting voters who have the same values as Harris. They’re trying to reach the people who were upset that she didn’t win the 2024 Presidential Election. All in all, this article has many PR elements that are used to help Harris’ brand and what she stands for.
