Harris Faces Attacks, Tight Race with Trump

Following President Joe Biden's decision to end his reelection bid and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris, the far-right has intensified its attacks against her and her husband, Doug Emhoff, with racist, misogynistic, and antisemitic rhetoric. Recent polls show a tight race between Trump and Harris, with Trump leading by one point among registered voters, and both candidates tied when third-party candidates are included. Despite the backlash, Harris continues to garner substantial support from within the Democratic Party, with 77% of Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents backing her as the nominee. Harris's campaign is focusing on key swing states, with targeted fundraising efforts to bolster her chances in the upcoming election. Additionally, she faces scrutiny over her past as a district attorney, though many allegations against her are proven to be exaggerated or false. Harris has a crucial opportunity to redefine her political stance, particularly on international issues like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as she steps into her role as the presumptive Democratic nominee.
