There’s a message that Kamala Harris and the Democrats are trying to send in these final weeks: The Democrats are patriots too.

It was all over the place at the Democratic National Convention, in the chants of “U.S.A.!” that broke out on the convention floor, in the vice president’s speech and in a speech by Wes Moore, the governor of Maryland.

This effort to reclaim patriotism can be seen as a way to reclaim more white rural voters. But it’s also an appeal to disaffected voters, especially some Black voters, who have lost faith in the system altogether.

In this week’s “Run-Up,” how the Democrats are using love of country to try to reach the skeptics — the people torn on whether to vote at all.

 

On today’s episode:

Wes Moore, governor of Maryland

Prentiss Haney, community organizer
