A top Democratic super PAC has launched a massive ad buy across several battleground states to boost Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential candidacy leading up to the Democratic Party's convention in Chicago next month.

Future Forward, the largest Democratic-leaning super PAC, announced this week it will spend $50 million supporting Harris in six states in the next three weeks ahead of the convention in Chicago, The Washington Post reported.

On top of that, Women Vote, part of the Emily's List network, announced Thursday it was spending $2 million to target younger women in four battleground states.

"We’re ready to hit the ground running to make sure voters know that Kamala Harris will be a president that fights for them," Future Forward President Chauncey McLean told The Washington Post Thursday.

"She is focused on improving the lives of all Americans, while Donald Trump is only focused on himself."

The move comes as Harris faces an uphill battle to win over voters. A recent poll by the New York Times/Siena College found that she trailed former President Donald Trump by only one percentage point among likely voters in Michigan, a crucial swing state. However, other polls have shown a wider gap between the two candidates.

Democrats are hoping that by portraying Harris as a more moderate candidate, they can appeal to a broader range of voters. In recent weeks, Harris has attempted to distance herself from some of her more progressive positions, including her support for Medicare for All.

Some analysts believe that the Democratic establishment is trying to clear the path for Harris to become the party's nominee. Former President Barack Obama recently endorsed Harris, and other high-profile Democrats have also expressed their support for her candidacy.

However, Harris has also faced criticism from within the Democratic Party. Some progressives have accused her of being too willing to compromise, and they are concerned that she will not be able to deliver on the party's agenda.

Despite the challenges, the Democrats are hoping that Harris can win over voters and defeat Trump in the 2024 election. They believe that her experience in government and her personal story make her a strong candidate to lead the country.
