Summary

Kamala Harris’s political skills have transformed a potentially disastrous 2024 presidential election into a competitive race.

Despite initial skepticism and a challenging campaign, Harris has improved her public image and closed the gap with Trump on key issues. Since Biden stepped aside in July and endorsed her, she has shifted from an unpopular vice president to a viable candidate, even matching Trump in polls on economic issues.

Her leadership has given Democrats a chance to prevent a Trump landslide and halt the rise of American authoritarianism.

    And the fact that there were so few months left before the Election when Biden had to step aside. She had to work and work she did.

    Granted the polls right now, least estimating, aren’t looking great. I expect an upset though.

        As far as people who are eligible to vote go, she was always going to win. But as you say, it comes down to how many in swing states actually vote. If enough stay home, Trump wins.
