In the ongoing race for the presidency in the United States, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris has emerged as a significant contender against Donald Trump. Following Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race, Harris has rekindled hopes within her party for a successful challenge to Trump’s re-election bid. During her recent campaign efforts, she traveled through small towns in Pennsylvania, areas where Trump narrowly achieved victory in the previous election held in 2020.
A recent opinion poll conducted by the Washington Post, in collaboration with ABC News and Ipsos, indicates that Harris currently holds a slight lead over Trump in national voter intentions. In a bid to solidify her support among middle-class voters, the Vice President has proposed an economic plan that emphasizes fiscal credits for families with newborns and assistance for home purchases.
In response, Trump has criticized Harris’s plan, labeling it as “communist” and asserting that it threatens to undermine the nation’s economy. He argued that Harris, whom he referred to disparagingly as “Comrade Kamala,” intends to implement socialist price controls that he claims have historically failed, drawing comparisons to the economic policies of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela.
This week, the Democratic Party is hosting its national convention in Chicago, where Harris is expected to be officially nominated as the presidential candidate. The event is anticipated to attract at least 50,000 attendees, marking a significant gathering in the third-largest city in the United States. Local authorities have mobilized an extensive security operation, involving 2,500 police officers to ensure the safety of participants and the integrity of the event.
