The calls told voters to “save their vote” for the November general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12000310 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240815-CITYATTORNEYDEEPFAKES-06-BL-KQED-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was discouraging people from turning out to the primary in New Hampshire, and that’s not inflammatory, but it can be substantially more effective,” Hansen said. “I think a lot of the highest impact things that we’ll see before and during the election are of that type.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To show what AI is capable of, CivAI has been modeling other ways that it could be used to impact voting in the run-up to election day.

I met her the night of the reelection for Sen. Feinstein, who I was working for at the time, and she was a guest to a very small dinner by Louise Renne, our first female city attorney. Kamala was working for her at the time, and we had an amazing conversation, and I realized she was going to do big things. And I made up my mind to be a part of that if I could be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Heidi Sieck, campaign volunteer: \u003c/strong>I met Kamala in 2003. There were like eight people at this house party. It was on the back patio, it was raining, it was kind of dingy. And we were just kind of standing there, and all of a sudden, this young woman comes in. She gets this, like milk carton or crate, and she steps up on it and gives this speech about transformation of criminal justice reform that I had never heard before because it was such a new, fresh perspective. And I was like, who is this woman? And I was all in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Matthew Rothschild, Harris’ colleague in the city attorney’s office\u003c/strong>: We were both on senior staff at the time. We’d go for coffee and talk about, you know, gossip, what was going on in city politics and what was going on in just our personal lives. I got to know her, and that’s when she told me she was thinking about running for district attorney. And would I help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rebecca Prozan, campaign manager\u003c/strong>: I had just graduated from law school, and I was supposed to start a job at a firm, and she called. It was two weeks before Labor Day. So, during the interview, I said, “So, have you done any recent polling?” Again, mind you, this is a week before Labor Day. And [Harris] said, “I’m at 8%.” And the election is in November. It’s literally just like this [year]: she had 70 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The 2003 campaign\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Prozan:\u003c/strong> She was always the key ingredient. Because she was so good, she could be anywhere. She could talk to Black voters in the Bayview. She could go to Pacific Heights. She could go to women’s groups. The LGBT community loved her. San Francisco could see who she was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sieck: \u003c/strong>The passion that the volunteers had in that short amount of time was absolutely infectious. I totaled my car running precincts for her in the runoff, and I just left my car on the side of the road and kept running precincts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Prozan:\u003c/strong> Thanksgiving, I was like, the team needs a day off. This is between the first election and the [Dec. 9] runoff. And just to get her to take the time off was a thing. And then, Wednesday at noon, she says, “No, I need to go to Costco. I need to go to Costco and shake every hand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Harris’ mother, Shyamala Gopalan\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rothschild:\u003c/strong> I met [Shyamala] at the campaign headquarters in 2,003, and we hit it off right away. She had a great sense of humor. Kamala definitely got her love of cooking, her laugh, the way she would move her shoulders. And she was interested in you. And, Kamala, she could see that we were becoming good friends. She sort of made sure I knew that when [Shyamala] calls you, make sure you understand her phone calls were never short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside postID=news_12000691 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-2166686058-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mesloh:\u003c/strong> When you walked into the campaign office in 2003, which was in the Bayview — she’s still the only citywide San Francisco [candidate] to have an office in the Bayview for an election — Shyamala would be there every day. And it reminds me of Kamala that Shyamala could give a brilliant strategy, or she could stuff a letter. Nothing was too big or too small. She was a worker, and she was like, this needs to be done, and I’m going to work extremely hard to make it happen. And Kamala has that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rothschild:\u003c/strong> Kamala’s other campaign manager with Rebecca was Jim Rivaldo, who was also Harvey Milk’s campaign manager. And he was sick at the time. And when Jim died, when I went to see him the last time, Shyamala was with me. And then afterwards she said, “Let’s go to Neiman Marcus and have a popover.” So we went to Neiman’s and had a popover and prayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Prozan: \u003c/strong>On election night, Matthew and Kamala and I believe [then state Assemblymember] Mark Leno and a couple of other people went to dinner, and Kamala was like, “Come to dinner,” and I’m like, “No, I’m going to sit here with Shyamala [and her friend], and we’re going to get the [election results], we’re going to hang out.” Shyamala was like, “I need a drink.” But they did not want to get a bottle of wine. They just wanted those chocolate candies with the liquor in them. And after three [boxes], they were completely drunk. And so I remember getting the call saying she’s going to win. And I looked at Shyamala, and I was like, “Your daughter is going to be the next district attorney in San Francisco.” And that was before I even called Kamala to tell her. What a moment to share with her.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>San Francisco ‘has prepared her for this moment’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sieck:\u003c/strong> She always brings people together. That’s what I loved about what she did in San Francisco. She brought us together, and she said, “Women of San Francisco, what do we want to be? What do we want to prioritize?” It really was the foundation of our leadership capabilities in the city. And so you’ll see, San Francisco is run by a lot of women. And we are all mentees of Kamala Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rothschild: \u003c/strong>I’m glad she’s my friend. I miss her sometimes because the world has her now. But I’m happy to share her with the country and the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mesloh:\u003c/strong> I think that all politics is local and campaigns in San Francisco are a knife fight in a phone booth. And if you can survive that… she’s very special.

I met her the night of the reelection for Sen. Feinstein, who I was working for at the time, and she was a guest to a very small dinner by Louise Renne, our first female city attorney. Kamala was working for her at the time, and we had an amazing conversation, and I realized she was going to do big things. And I made up my mind to be a part of that if I could be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Heidi Sieck, campaign volunteer: \u003c/strong>I met Kamala in 2003. There were like eight people at this house party. It was on the back patio, it was raining, it was kind of dingy. And we were just kind of standing there, and all of a sudden, this young woman comes in. She gets this, like milk carton or crate, and she steps up on it and gives this speech about transformation of criminal justice reform that I had never heard before because it was such a new, fresh perspective. And I was like, who is this woman?

We’d go for coffee and talk about, you know, gossip, what was going on in city politics and what was going on in just our personal lives. I got to know her, and that’s when she told me she was thinking about running for district attorney. And would I help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rebecca Prozan, campaign manager\u003c/strong>: I had just graduated from law school, and I was supposed to start a job at a firm, and she called. It was two weeks before Labor Day. So, during the interview, I said, “So, have you done any recent polling?” Again, mind you, this is a week before Labor Day. And [Harris] said, “I’m at 8%.” And the election is in November. It’s literally just like this [year]: she had 70 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The 2003 campaign\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Prozan:\u003c/strong> She was always the key ingredient. Because she was so good, she could be anywhere. She could talk to Black voters in the Bayview. She could go to Pacific Heights. She could go to women’s groups. The LGBT community loved her. San Francisco could see who she was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sieck: \u003c/strong>The passion that the volunteers had in that short amount of time was absolutely infectious. I totaled my car running precincts for her in the runoff, and I just left my car on the side of the road and kept running precincts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Prozan:\u003c/strong> Thanksgiving, I was like, the team needs a day off. This is between the first election and the [Dec. 9] runoff. And just to get her to take the time off was a thing. And then, Wednesday at noon, she says, “No, I need to go to Costco. I need to go to Costco and shake every hand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Harris’ mother, Shyamala Gopalan\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rothschild:\u003c/strong> I met [Shyamala] at the campaign headquarters in 2,003, and we hit it off right away. She had a great sense of humor. Kamala definitely got her love of cooking, her laugh, the way she would move her shoulders. And she was interested in you. And, Kamala, she could see that we were becoming good friends. She sort of made sure I knew that when [Shyamala] calls you, make sure you understand her phone calls were never short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"news_12000691","hero":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-2166686058-1020x680.jpg","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mesloh:\u003c/strong> When you walked into the campaign office in 2003, which was in the Bayview — she’s still the only citywide San Francisco [candidate] to have an office in the Bayview for an election — Shyamala would be there every day. And it reminds me of Kamala that Shyamala could give a brilliant strategy, or she could stuff a letter. Nothing was too big or too small. She was a worker, and she was like, this needs to be done, and I’m going to work extremely hard to make it happen. And Kamala has that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rothschild:\u003c/strong> Kamala’s other campaign manager with Rebecca was Jim Rivaldo, who was also Harvey Milk’s campaign manager. And he was sick at the time. And when Jim died, when I went to see him the last time, Shyamala was with me. And then afterwards she said, “Let’s go to Neiman Marcus and have a popover.” So we went to Neiman’s and had a popover and prayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Prozan: \u003c/strong>On election night, Matthew and Kamala and I believe [then state Assemblymember] Mark Leno and a couple of other people went to dinner, and Kamala was like, “Come to dinner,” and I’m like, “No, I’m going to sit here with Shyamala [and her friend], and we’re going to get the [election results], we’re going to hang out.” Shyamala was like, “I need a drink.” But they did not want to get a bottle of wine. They just wanted those chocolate candies with the liquor in them. And after three [boxes], they were completely drunk. And so I remember getting the call saying she’s going to win. And I looked at Shyamala, and I was like, “Your daughter is going to be the next district attorney in San Francisco.” And that was before I even called Kamala to tell her.

That’s what I loved about what she did in San Francisco. She brought us together, and she said, “Women of San Francisco, what do we want to be? What do we want to prioritize?” It really was the foundation of our leadership capabilities in the city. And so you’ll see, San Francisco is run by a lot of women. And we are all mentees of Kamala Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rothschild: \u003c/strong>I’m glad she’s my friend. I miss her sometimes because the world has her now.

In previous IGS surveys, California voters showed tepid support for Harris. However, in this poll, 58% of all voters view her favorably, while 40% have an unfavorable view.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think she’s rallied the kind of support of many party members who just hadn’t had a real opinion of her before and hadn’t seen her in action this way,” Schickler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bump in support for the Democratic ticket transcends demographics and party registration.

Taylor, who now identifies with neither major party, supported Trump in 2016 but voted for \u003ca href=\"https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/macomb/2020/03/11/sterling-heights-mayor-michael-taylor-joe-biden-primary/5021236002/\">Biden in 2020\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is perceived as elitist and progressive and seems distant to a lot of Macomb County voters, sometimes even himself, Taylor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I sense that from talking to Republicans. There’s this conflict between the real America and the America of the little blue islands along the coasts,” he said. “When you talk to some people, they almost act like California is a different country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s true for Republican Cheryl Costantino, a teacher in Macomb County’s Shelby Township: “To us, California is like its own weird, liberal place where people poop on the sidewalks and live in tents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClellan Grote, a registered independent and nuclear engineer from Gilbert, Arizona, hesitates to vote for Harris. Although he supported Trump twice and still favors his policies, Grote said he must vote against Trump’s vitriol. But he’s reluctant to support Harris, partly due to the liberal image of California and Newsom, who Grote also calls “Newscum.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That perception represents a “key vulnerability” that Harris must overcome to win moderate voters, said Matt Grossmann, a political science professor at Michigan State University. Historically, Black and female candidates are considered more liberal than white men, he said, and Harris’ history representing a largely Democratic state, particularly in the U.S. Senate, may cement that impression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans are hoping to cash in on that exact sentiment. In a National Republican Senatorial Committee memo, executive director Jason Thielman deemed Harris a “\u003ca href=\"https://x.com/rbeggin/status/1815469097045692658/photo/1\">radical” from San Francisco\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it’s too soon to tell if those attacks have dented her support, Grossmann noted that down-ballot Democrats in swing states \u003ca href=\"https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2017-06-27/is-nancy-pelosi-worth-the-trouble\">have suffered\u003c/a> in previous elections\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>when tied to \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/oct/17/nancy-pelosi-democrats-california\">former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco\u003c/a>. “That gives (us) a reason to expect that the same attacks would be successful against Harris,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The person who may help counter those critiques is Walz, whom Democrats are counting on to help connect with Midwesterners with his rural roots and his background as a gun owner, hunter, public school teacher and veteran. The Trump campaign, on other hand, \u003ca href=\"https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-campaign-blasts-tim-walz-as-west-coast-wannabe/ar-AA1olntU?ocid=BingNewsSerp\">quickly tried to paint Walz\u003c/a> in an emailed statement as a “West Coast wannabe” who wants to spread “California’s dangerously liberal agenda.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walz is “a perfect description of a Democrat who could win in Macomb County,” said Marlinga, a self-described moderate Democrat who lost by a razor-thin margin to Republican U.S. Rep. John James in 2022 and is set for a rematch this November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marlinga called the Minnesota governor a “positive populist” who is easy-going and approachable. Walz called Trump and Vance “weird,” just like an “ordinary guy … sitting down for dinner at a deli somewhere” would, Marlinga said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11999713\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11999713\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-2165424783.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-2165424783.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-2165424783-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-2165424783-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-2165424783-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-2165424783-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photographs of Democratic U.S. Presidents are visible behind Democratic presidential candidate U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov.
