On July 21, at 11:00 PM Indian time, President Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race. About a month had passed since his defeat in the June 28 presidential debate when he made this decision. Vice President Kamala Harris has received Bidens formal endorsement as the Democratic Partys presidential nominee in accordance with official party protocol and in response to growing internal party pressure.
Given that Harris was born 22 years younger than Biden she offers the campaign a fresh perspective. She is well renowned for her ability to distort criticism and for her viewpoints on divisive topics like abortion and gun violence. With a substantial age advantage over Trump (she is currently 59 years old) Harris could be a formidable rival to both Biden and Trump in the contest.
In American politics, experience in both domestic and foreign affairs is crucial. Harris, after Biden, is one of the party's most seasoned leaders. Her clear positions on international matters, particularly her strong support for Israel, resonate with a broad segment of American voters who are staunch Israel supporters.
Harris’s recent public performance has intensified media discussions about her potential to take on Trump effectively. On July 18, during a North Carolina rally, Harris robustly countered Trump’s allegations, highlighting her capability to address his criticisms head-on.
As Trump continues to question Biden’s competence and age, Democratic leaders are increasingly calling for a referendum on Biden’s candidacy. Should Harris be formally nominated, her fresh leadership could galvanize the Democratic base and offer a dynamic counterpoint to Trump’s campaign, making the upcoming election battle more intriguing and competitive.
