Vice President Kamala Harris, now the Democratic presidential candidate, has faced criticism from Republicans who compiled a video montage highlighting her past progressive views, which they label as 'dangerously liberal.' In her first interview since taking over the ticket, Harris defended her policy shifts, insisting her core values remain unchanged as she prepares for a tight race against former President Trump. Despite a recent surge in support and fundraising, she cautioned her supporters not to rely too heavily on polling, emphasizing the hard work ahead. Trump maintains a narrow lead in Nevada, where Harris has a significant campaign infrastructure advantage but Trump's confidence remains high. Meanwhile, tensions within the Republican Party are evident, as some members debate whether supporting Harris could be seen as unpatriotic, highlighting the complexity of voter sentiments heading into the election. The 2024 Senate cycle also poses challenges for Republicans, who are underperforming in key battleground states against Democratic incumbents.
