At dawn on Wednesday, the Democratic Party officially approved US Vice President Kamala Harris as a candidate for the presidential elections scheduled for next November against former President Donald Trump. During an election event in Wisconsin, Harris expressed her honor at winning the nomination and emphasized her commitment to paving a new path towards the future and freedom alongside Democratic delegates.
The Democratic National Convention, now in its second day in Chicago, Illinois, is themed 'A Bold Vision for the Future of the United States.' Former President Barack Obama spoke passionately in support of Harris, asserting that the country is ready for her leadership. He criticized the Republican Party for its current state and highlighted the need for a leader who prioritizes the aspirations of the nation over personal ambitions.
In a remarkable fundraising effort, Harris' campaign has raised approximately $500 million since her candidacy announcement, with $200 million amassed in just the first week. This unprecedented financial backing reflects a surge of enthusiasm among donors. Meanwhile, Trump continues to campaign vigorously in swing states, focusing on crime and police support as key issues. Recent polling indicates a competitive race, with Harris leading Trump nationally by four points.
