Vice President Kamala Harris was officially elected as the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate on the 2nd ahead of the presidential election to be held in November. On the second day of the online ‘roll-out vote’ conducted from the previous day to select the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, Vice President Harris secured many of the delegates needed to become the presidential candidate, Democratic National Committee Chair Jamie Harrison announced.
Vice President Harris had already received the support of 99% (3,923 delegates) of the delegates and was the only candidate to be nominated in the roll-out vote. With Vice President Harris confirmed as the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, the matchup for the November presidential election has finally been finalized. T
his presidential election, which initially seemed to be solidifying early on as a ‘rematch’ between President Joe Biden and former President Trump, is unfolding in a more dramatic curve than any other presidential election as the situation changed abruptly with President Biden’s unexpected defeat on the 21st of last month. With less than 100 days left until Election Day, Vice President Harris will take over the baton and face off against former President Trump, resulting in an election with clear contrasts between people of color and white people, women and men, people in their 50s and 70s, and progressives and conservatives.
The Republican Party and former President Trump are attacking the Biden administration’s mismanagement by highlighting economic and border issues in this election, while also advocating for Vice President Harris’s shared responsibility.
On the other hand, the Democratic Party and Vice President Harris are appealing to voters for support, defining this election as a question of democracy and dictatorship, saying that if former President Trump is re-elected, American democracy itself will be in danger of extinction.
