Former President Donald Trump recently took to his Truth Social account and took a shot at Kamala Harris over changing race. He posted a comparison in which an article from 2016 labeling Kamala as the first Indian-American US Senator while an article from 2020 noting Kamala as the first Black Woman running mate.
It has been noted that Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign for president outlined her “path to victory” against former President Donald Trump in a memo Wednesday, touting $126 million now raised since President Joe Biden announced his exit from the 2024 election.
Jen O’Malley Dillon, chair of the Harris campaign stated in the memo that Harris is in “a strong position to win,” pointing to three main factors: Harris’ “well-documented support” among Black, Hispanic, and young voters, each core Democratic constituencies; an opportunity to expand Democrats’ growing advantage with college-educated voters; and Harris’ appeal with undecided voters.
As Biden dropped out, Harris quickly secured enough Democratic National Committee delegates to become the presumptive Democratic nominee and coalesced the party’s establishment behind her bid. Yet the coming days are critical as she looks to define her candidacy amid attacks from Republicans and prove to Democrats she has a plan to beat Trump, the Republican nominee.
Harris has energized the Democratic base, O’Malley Dillon stated, pointing to a net approval rating that is 54 percentage points ahead of Trump with Black voters, 25 percentages better than Trump among young voters, 21 points better among women voters, and 30 points higher than Trump among Asian American and Pacific Islander voters.
She said Harris performs better than Trump among undecided, independent, and third-party Latino voters as well as Latino voters who are skeptical of both Biden and Trump.
