Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign is seeking guidance from U.K. Labour strategist Deborah Mattinson, showing deepening ties between the two center-left political teams. The collaboration aims to replicate Labour’s recent election success in the U.S. context.
Harris Campaign Seeks UK Expertise
In a significant development, Kamala Harris’ team will receive strategic guidance from Deborah Mattinson, one of U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s top advisers. Mattinson is expected to brief the Harris-Walz campaign on Labour’s successful election-winning strategies during her visit to Washington D.C.
Labour’s Election Success Shared
Mattinson played a pivotal role in helping Starmer reclaim traditional Labour voters, and her insights could prove invaluable for Harris. The collaboration emphasizes a shared focus on winning key battleground states, with Harris currently leading Trump in a few, albeit narrowly.
Transatlantic Collaboration
The Harris campaign’s partnership with the U.K. Labour Party is part of a broader trend of center-left collaboration across the Atlantic. Political strategists from both countries are sharing insights on common issues, including immigration and border security, which are critical concerns in the upcoming election.
Focus on Swing States
The Harris campaign is prioritizing winning key electoral college battleground states, just as Starmer did in the U.K. The focus is on appealing to centrist voters and addressing pressing national concerns such as immigration, housing, and crime.
