Kamala Harris launched her presidential campaign in Wisconsin on Tuesday, marking her first campaign event as the Democratic nominee. She secured the nomination after securing enough delegate support following President Biden’s decision to step down. Harris has emerged as the Democratic frontrunner after Biden, 81, ended his re-election bid.
Harris is expected to focus on Trump’s past actions and policies, appealing to voters who were unsatisfied with their choices in the previous election. Her campaign has raised $100 million since Biden’s withdrawal. Support for Harris has been widespread, with prominent Democrats like George Clooney offering their endorsements.
