Harris to spend election night at Howard University
Vice President Harris will spend election night at Howard University, her alma mater in Washington, D.C., a source familiar told The Hill.
Harris primary home is in California, but she has chosen to stay on the East Coast as her whirlwind campaign concludes. When in Washington, she lives at the Naval Observatory, which is the home of the vice president.
Howard is one of the nation’s historically Black colleges and universities. Harris graduated from the D.C. school in 1986, with a degree in political science and economics. While there, she became a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha.
The vice president’s campaign has prioritized outreach to Black voters in the weeks before Election Day, while polling has indicated that former President Trump is making gains with that voting bloc.
A New York Times and Siena College poll earlier this month indicated Harris had 78 percent of support from likely Black voters; 15 percent of likely Black voters said they would choose Trump. That marks gains for Trump, after President Biden won 92 percent of Black support in 2020.
Harris has struggled with young Black male voters, in particular. The University of Chicago’s latest GenForward survey, released last week, found that 26 percent of Black men between the ages of 18 and 40 said they would vote for Trump and 12 percent of Black women said the same.
