Vice President Kamala Harris is experiencing a surge in support as she transitions into the role of presumptive Democratic presidential candidate following Joe Biden's exit from the race. Her announcement of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate has notably improved her odds with bookmakers, reflecting increased confidence among voters. This excitement around her candidacy is also mobilizing Black women in California, potentially boosting local female candidates in the upcoming November elections. However, there was significant pressure from Hollywood donors for her to select Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro instead of Walz, highlighting differing opinions within Democratic circles. Recent polls indicate Harris holds a slight edge over Donald Trump, with her support particularly strong among Black and Latino voters. As she prepares for the campaign ahead, Harris's choices and her ability to maintain this momentum will be critical in shaping her electoral prospects.
