Vice President Kamala Harris is gearing up for the Democratic National Convention, where she will formally accept the nomination for president amid a surge in polling that shows her leading in key battleground states, including Pennsylvania. Her campaign is bolstered by a wave of enthusiasm following President Biden's withdrawal from the race, and she is set to unveil new policy proposals focusing on economic issues and rally support for reproductive rights and voting rights. However, the convention is overshadowed by expected protests against the Biden-Harris administration's stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict. Concurrently, former President Trump continues to engage in personal attacks against Harris, complicating the campaign landscape. Despite challenges, Democrats are hopeful that Harris's unique position as the first Black and South Asian woman nominated for a major party ticket will invigorate their base. The convention will feature high-profile speakers, including Biden, Obama, and Clinton, aiming to unify and energize the party ahead of the election.
