WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is hiring Nasrina Bargzie to lead outreach to Muslim and Arab voters, according to a campaign official who first shared details of the plan with NBC News — a move focused on a key constituency that soured on President Joe Biden over his support of Israel.
Josh Hsu, who was Harris’ chief legal adviser in the White House, praised the role Bargzie will fill, saying, “The campaign will benefit greatly from her continued work in these areas for the vice president.” Hala Hijazi, a longtime San Francisco leader on issues affecting Muslim and Arab communities who is now on the campaign’s national finance committee, added her praise. “She always leans in and tackles the most difficult and sensitive issues with integrity and justice in mind,” Hijazi said.
