Kamala Harris has emerged as the Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential race, revitalizing the Democratic base and posing a formidable challenge to Donald Trump. Harris is polling better among Black voters compared to President Joe Biden but still lags behind former President Barack Obama's support levels. Despite skepticism about her racial identity from some voters, she is making significant efforts to appeal to various demographics, including Arab-American and LGBTQ+ voters. Her campaign strategy includes a robust relational organizing model and a series of events leading up to the Democratic National Convention. Harris has embraced elements of her personal background and civil rights legacy to inform her approach to both domestic and foreign policy. With Biden's endorsement and recent polling gains in critical swing states, Harris's candidacy has energized the Democratic base.
