In an audacious pivot in modern political history, Democrats are gathering this week to put forth a convention aimed at propelling Vice President Kamala Harris into a pioneering presidential position. Beginning with commendations for President Joe Biden, who despite a fruitful tenure opted to withdraw from his reelection campaign due to age, the Democratic Party is now focused on supporting Harris, their fresh face, and her historic run for President.
Acknowledging new shifts in power, Biden, during his withdrawal announcement, urged Americans to grasp the reins and shape history. The party’s immediate rallying around Harris, despite the hopes for a multi-candidate race, signifies their recognition of change as an opportunity. Now, with Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz leading the Democratic ticket, the party’s focus is to block former President Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
With Harris at the helm, there has been a palpable revitalization in the Democratic party, mending any discernable schisms in Biden’s coalition. Entering the race with gusto, Harris has not only taken the lead in some national polls but also given Democrats multiple pathways to garner the required 270 electoral votes. It is interesting to note the shift in mood and optimism within the party, considering Harris’s greatest challenges are yet to be faced.
But there is no question that Harris has, indeed, changed the direction of the election. Trump, who seems to have anticipated Biden as his adversary, was fazed by this remarkable switch. The former President has since held numerous campaign events in a show of defiance, showcasing the potency of Harris’ presence in the race. Harris hasn’t only survived the trial by fire, so to speak, but has also posed herself as the candidate for change.
However, the party’s move to push Harris, who wasn’t recognized as a strong political force, to the forefront is fraught with gambles. In her presidential campaign so far, Harris, remarkably, hasn’t garnered a single vote. She had withdrawn from her previous campaign before the Iowa caucuses, and this time, she clinched the nomination instantly after a virtual roll call of delegates. Yet, in the face of these challenges, Harris is standing strong and has managed to keep the campaign momentum going so far.
A crucial debate awaits Harris on September 10, where she will face off against Trump. As per most predictions, Harris’ ability to keep the campaign spirit alive could be tested in the coming television debates. Harris has been clear in her stance and potential candidacy. Her focus is on the future against a historical backdrop of a grand possibility: if she gets elected, she’d be the first Black female president and the first Indian American president. Through her campaign, Harris is leaning into a new message against Trump, focusing on his unethical conduct and painting herself as a righteous, trustworthy alternative.
Two recently released pre-convention polls showed Harris slightly ahead of the former president. Harris is now standing strong in the must-win “blue wall” states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, making her a formidable opponent against former President Trump. As we approach the election, the only thing that’s certain is that the race is far from over.
