Kamala Harris delivered her first public speech after Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race, praising Biden’s accomplishments during his term. Despite Biden’s absence from her campaign, Harris continues to gain momentum in the presidential race, with a focus on policy over rhetoric. Harris has selected Tim Walz as her running mate and is navigating criticisms from Republican lawmakers and Trump. Key issues like immigration and the Gaza war remain contentious, with calls for Harris to break from Biden’s stance on Israel and advocate for an arms embargo. While Harris has been successful in building momentum through social media, experts stress the importance of clear policy positions to appeal to voters. The Biden administration’s record, including passing major legislation, will be highlighted during the Democratic National Convention. Harris’s campaign aims to appeal to Americans looking for something new, with a focus on defining her policy positions rather than relying solely on enthusiasm. As the first woman and first Black and South Asian woman to potentially serve as president, Harris faces the challenge of addressing key issues and differentiating herself from Biden to win the support of a diverse electorate.
