Kamala Harris has gained significant momentum in her presidential campaign, bolstered by key endorsements from figures like Barack and Michelle Obama, as well as the enthusiastic support of Gen Z and LGBTQ communities through endorsements from pop stars like Charli XCX. Former RNC chair Michael Steele praised Harris' campaign for demonstrating that effective presidential campaigns can be run within six to eight months, rather than two years. Despite initial skepticism, Harris has managed to transform Democratic voter sentiment from dread to hope, as evidenced by increased fundraising and volunteerism. Critics acknowledge her past shortcomings but also recognize her potential to continue Biden's achievements and address key issues. The campaign's focus on grassroots enthusiasm and representation, especially among Asian American and immigrant communities, has further strengthened Harris' position as a viable candidate against Donald Trump.
