The VP's focus on how policy is intersecting with overlooked communities has found her visiting small, rural towns like Greenville, Miss., and Sunset, La.

Bynum had first touched base with Harris last year when, on the phone for 30 minutes, the two discussed how the administration could play a role in increasing investments in underserved communities. His answer to her was simple: “Well, Madam Vice President, if you really want to see what’s going on, you come to the Mississippi Delta.
A month later, she was in Brandywine, Maryland, a majority Black city — though not exactly a locality at the vanguard of electoral politics — talking about EV stations and announcing the administration’s plan to make sure its charging network made it to communities like theirs. For much of last year, Harris’ strategy played out largely behind closed doors in conversations that often occurred in the VP’s ceremonial offices in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. But as Covid restrictions have rolled back, she has pushed her team to hit the road more, adding those unconventional swings alongside high profile travel to places like Poland and Philadelphia.
