Kamala Harris, the vice president, is rapidly moving towards securing the Democratic nomination for the US presidential election. She released her first campaign ad under the slogan 'We Choose Freedom' and attacked Republican candidate Donald Trump.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has also decided to finalize the nomination process in early August, ahead of the party convention in Chicago. Harris promises to tackle issues such as gun violence, child poverty, and healthcare.
She also highlights Trump's legal troubles and his conviction for falsifying business records. Trump, in turn, has launched personal attacks against Harris, calling her a 'radical lunatic' and making false claims about her stance on abortion.
Despite this, Harris remains in a virtual tie with Trump in the polls, buoyed by a renewed sense of hope and excitement among Democratic supporters. The upcoming debates between Harris and Trump are expected to be decisive for voters.
With high stakes for control of Congress and state governments, the race for the presidency is wide open, and Harris faces the challenge of appealing to a broad base of voters, including women, minorities, and independent voters.
The Democratic nomination vote for Harris is set for August 1, and her nomination is expected to be unopposed after Biden's endorsement.
