Harris Leads Democratic Race, Edges Trump in Polls

Vice President Kamala Harris has officially become the Democratic frontrunner for the 2024 presidential election following President Joe Biden's withdrawal. Harris is leading Donald Trump in recent polls, with a slight margin of 44% to 42%, within the margin of error. Her campaign has energized the Democratic base, and she has launched targeted attacks on Trump, emphasizing her prosecutorial background and stance on women's rights and climate change. Despite her current momentum, Trump's campaign is preparing for a 'Harris Honeymoon' period in polling and is planning to refocus their attacks on her record as California’s attorney general. The shift in Democratic leadership has also seen significant endorsements and support from prominent figures like former L.A. mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. As Harris campaigns, she is expected to prioritize the Biden administration's climate achievements and continue advocating for progressive trade policies.
