After Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race, the US president announced his full support for Vice President Kamala Harris. This move represents an important message to the party’s leadership members, as he is on the one hand submitting his resignation, and on the other hand, urging his party to remain united and prevent another intra-party battle for the position.
Several Democrats have already declared their support for Kamala Harris. In addition to the question of who will get the Democratic nomination, there is a more important question: whether the US vice president can defeat Donald Trump. The strategy that her team developed when the US president was still a candidate was to confront the former president as a prosecutor against the convicted.
Although Democrats have yet to settle on a candidate to be sworn in for the November presidential election, some polls suggest that Kamala Harris could prove to be a strong challenger to Trump. In a hypothetical scenario of a showdown between the two, they voted for a tie (44%) in a poll conducted by Ipsos on behalf of Reuters on July 15-16.
How will Harris face Trump?
Although after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the fact that he is convicted tends to fall out of the news, the Democratic presidential contender is poised to take aim at the former president, as he is the first of his presidential candidates to be convicted of a felony. More than a dozen analysts They told CNNThey believe that her nomination will depend largely on her past as a prosecutor, and therefore the battle between them will be simple: “prosecutor versus convict.”
This dilemma will be a way not only to highlight her career and life story, but also to show that she is fighting for the American people, while Trump, who has been convicted of criminal offenses, is trying to serve himself. Through this strategy, she will demonstrate qualities such as intelligence and dynamism, qualities that make her not only a prosecutor but a leader.
Historic nomination
Harris’s nomination is historic by any measure. She is not only the first female vice president. She is a half-Jamaican, half-Indian woman whose first names are Kamala and Devi, and who has identified so strongly with the black American experience that she specifically chose Howard University for college. Yet throughout her tenure, many have engaged in unintended slurs against her, either because she is a woman or because she is a person of color.
On the international stage, her aides have been constantly correcting protocol desks for other governments, with the vice president sitting next to the leader’s wife at dinner rather than the leader himself. In any case, those around her are bracing for the possibility that she will face racism and sexism. Many are counting on Harris’s nomination to spark a groundswell of grassroots enthusiasm, as it represents a turnaround from one of the most intense months of Democratic despair.
But also because if she ran, the base would be represented in a way that many of the party’s primary voters didn’t feel was represented by an 81-year-old white man whose most consistent Saturday-night activity was going to church. And with women across the country increasingly engaged in the abortion issue, many Democrats expected a boost from the nomination of a woman who had been a longtime leader on the issue.
short election campaign
Despite the difficulty of organizing a campaign just over 100 days before the election, several people who know her told CNN that this could be the best news for her.
“She works best when she has a great sense of urgency and limited time,” a former Harris aide said. Harris is “a better runner than a marathoner, and I think that will be an advantage,” she added.
How will Trump “hit” the former attorney general?
Donald Trump’s reaction to Biden’s resignation was immediate. The Republican president wants to show that he can also stand up to his potential new opponent, saying he is responsible for two problems: the immigration crisis and the high cost of living.
According to With the Washington PostThe businessman is expected to present the vice president as a “co-ruler” of policies that have been implemented and have caused discontent in the United States. Kamala Harris will be “easier” to beat than Joe Biden, Trump told CNN after President Biden’s announcement.
The super PAC, with the distinctive title Make America Great Again Inc., said Sunday it would pull ads against Mr. Biden that were scheduled to run in the battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania, and replace them with messages attacking Ms. Harris.
The 30-second ad accuses the vice president of hiding from the American people that President Biden is incapable of doing his job, and more broadly, all the evils the administration has brought. “Kamala knew Joe couldn’t do the job, so she did it. Here’s what he did. Border incursions, rampant inflation, and the American dream is dead.”
It is noted that according to the qualitative characteristics of the opinion polls that have come to light, Americans are dissatisfied with the rising prices of food and fuel and the rising interest rates, which make buying a home out of reach for many.
