She's the country's first and only Latina senator, but you might not know that, probably in part to her not speaking Spanish. But that's also not how she's leaning into Latino outreach. “I’m half Italian and I don’t speak Italian either,” she told me.

There's not a big appetite for anti-Trump messaging, this polling suggests. And voters don't really want to hear about the Biden years either. Instead they want a forward-looking, positive case for Harris — and to hear about her work as a prosecutor.
