Kamala Harris
The Harris campaign has held Souls to the Polls across the country, with Harris recently stopping at Black churches in Georgia.

Democrats are holding more “Souls to the Polls” events across Florida this weekend in a final push to rally the Black vote for Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz.

Team Harris-Walz and the Florida Democratic Party are working with Black faith and community leaders for the events to try and build momentum for Harris and down the ballot before Tuesday’s election.

The itinerary includes Sunday with Souls to the Polls stops scheduled in Leon, Duval, Alachua, Hillsborough and Miami-Dade counties.

“During the events, speakers will highlight Vice President Harris’ New Way Forward for Black families that will lower costs, make homeownership more attainable, and give everyone an opportunity to not just get by, but get ahead,” the Harris campaign said in a press release. “Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda will raise taxes on Black middle-class families by nearly $4,000 and take this country backward.”

The Harris-Walz team also hosted a similar event in Palm Beach County event on Saturday.

Former President Bill Clinton will be trying to mobilize voters leaving church Sunday to vote early. That comes after Hillary Clinton spoke on Saturday in Tampa.

The Harris campaign has held Souls to the Polls across the country, with Harris recently stopping at Black churches in Georgia.

“Our country is at a crossroads, and where we go from here is up to us as Americans and as people of faith,” Harris said at one stop last month at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, according to CNN.

“We face this question: What kind of country do we want to live in?” she said. “A country of chaos, fear and hate, or a country of freedom, compassion and justice?”

Harris hasn’t visited the Sunshine State as a presidential candidate, as polls show her trailing behind Trump.

A poll by Emerson College showed the former President’s support at 52% versus Harris’ 44% in Florida.

The poll, conducted Oct. 18-20, had a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percentage points.

      Imagine if Repubs had a “Crackers to the Polls” event. Sharpton and others would lose their minds. Like I’ve been telling you all along Yrral, racism goes both ways.

        Nonsense! There are many identity groups: “Blacks for Trump”, “Women for Trump”, White Dudes for Harris”, “Log Cabin Republicans” ….whose purpose is to support each other, not to exclude others or to demand preference. Candidates speak to them all the time!
        “Cracker” could be different since even many who self-identify do not like to be called that by a Yankee!

        Ridiculous! Even people who self identify as “Cracker” can see the term as derogatory if a Northerner uses it. Neutral terms such as “Blacks for Trump” and “White Dudes for Harris” are common. They are not used to exclude! I’m sure Souls to the Polls wants you to vote too!

      Um we lived under a two term Obama right? Kammy could be white, yellow, brown, etc. The fact
      Is half of the country doesn’t like, think she is competent enough or they have had enough of the most incompetent administration in a lifetime. Color probably has something to do with it just like many people of color will vote for Kammy just because she is black.

        If the deciding issue in this election was competence, Trump would never have become the GOP nominee.
