Election Live Updates: After Convention, Trump Sharpens Attacks on Harris
nytimesAUG 2024
There's only been one change to the Democratic campaign since they began outperforming Trump in fundraising, and that's Kamala Harris becoming the nominees. Since Harris took the baton from Biden, she's increased the number of younger donors, Black donors, and female donors. The money is impressive enough, but this also shows she's bringing in signicant numbers of new voters to help her win the White House.
The reason Harris has grown popular isn't due to her personality, but rather how the media portrays her on TV and magazine covers. What these elites fail to understand, however, is that comparing Harris to out-of-touch celebrities like Taylor Swift and Beyonce isn't what most people care about. What they care about is what Trump cares about: ending wars and putting money back in American pockets.
There is a 55% chance that Kamala Harris will be elected US President in 2024, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
