Kamala Harris Gains Lead After Biden Withdraws

Kamala Harris revealed in her first interview since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee that she was with her family when President Joe Biden called to inform her he was dropping out of the race. Harris, who was preparing breakfast, expressed surprise and asked Biden if he was sure about his decision. Biden withdrew his re-election bid due to concerns about his age and health, and endorsed Harris as his successor. Harris, alongside her running mate Tim Walz, emphasized her unchanged values and pledged to appoint a Republican to her cabinet if elected. The Democratic campaign has since gained momentum, with Harris leading in several swing state polls against Donald Trump. This pivotal interview marked Harris’s first major media appearance since her nomination, aiming to bolster her public image ahead of the November elections.
