    Harris picks up surge of volunteers in Florida

    By Kathryn Varn,

    More than 7,000 Floridians have signed on to help with Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign — its largest surge of volunteers so far.

    Why it matters: The numbers, shared with Axios by the Harris campaign, show "an overwhelming groundswell of support" in the Sunshine State, Florida director Jasmine Burney-Clark said in a statement.


    • And it potentially signals untapped enthusiasm among Democrats in Florida as the state's voter rolls and election results have grown increasingly red in recent years.

    By the numbers: As of Wednesday, the campaign had amassed more than 6,600 volunteers in Florida, a number that swelled to more than 7,200 by Thursday, per the Harris campaign.

    Reality check: Republicans have continued to dominate voter registration in Florida with a lead of more than 950,000 voters as of June 30.
