The presidential campaign of United States Vice President Kamala Harris is now well underway with new polls showing just how close the race with Donald Trump is.
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris on the South Lawn of the White House on July 22, 2024 in Washington, DC. U.S After Joe Biden announced he was exiting the election race and endorsing his Vice President, it's now disrupted Mr Trump's plans who appeared well placed to win the race. SBS News takes a look at who exactly Kamala Harris is and what her chances are in the November election."Do we believe in the promise of America and are we ready to fight for it? And when we fight, we win.
She ran in the 2020 Democratic primaries against candidates like Joe Biden who she'd ultimately aligned herself with to become the first African American and Asian person to serve as vice president. Kamala Harris has outlined her political platform saying the issues of abortion, gun control and voting rights will sit at the top of her agenda.
But despite her legal and political experience, her three-and-a-half-year White House tenure has been mostly uneventful and her handling of early policy portfolios including migration from Central America has been controversial.Kamala threw open our borders and allowed 20 million illegal aliens to stampede into our country from all over the world. But this November, the American people are going to tell her, ‘No thanks, Kamala, you've done a terrible job.
"Where she is really vulnerable is exactly where Biden was vulnerable, the economy and inflation, it is very similar to what's happening in Australia cost of living pressures, high interest rates. You blame the person who owns the top office in the land. And on immigration, the southern border, that is Trump's number one hot button issue. He hammered Biden on that. He's going to hammer her on that. So those are big hits that will hurt her.
"I think we saw today in the meetings with Netanyahu that occurred in Washington where she was quite strong. She says, sign the deal, get the deal, end the war, bring the hostages home. And she's more vocal about the humanitarian situation in Gaza than even Biden has been. And she wants Netanyahu to face up to that. So more pressure on that front."
