On July 21, Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the race for a new term at the White House. His message came after three weeks of tensions within the Democratic Party following the first televised debates between the current president and Donald Trump, in which the former faltered.
Joe Biden’s exit from the race triggered a rapid succession of events that propelled Kamala Harris, 59, into the position of Trump’s competitor when no one believed there would be any obstacle in his glorious path to the White House.
But in the last week, since Vice President Harris entered the race, the situation has changed radically, so that now, with 100 days before the elections, Trump’s position has become unstable.
The assassination attempt, the Republican convention, and the emotion surrounding the armed attack have caused the entire party to rally behind Trump, with many betting on an easy victory for him.
However, Biden's withdrawal from the candidacy stirred up a storm, with Kamala Harris managing to create an enthusiasm not seen in the USA since Barack Obama's 2008 campaign.
Trump Feels the Heat
In a poll released on Saturday, Fox News announced that in three key states - Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin - Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are tied. This happened after the former president led in all before Biden withdrew his candidacy.
Winning these three states by the current number 2 at the White House practically means winning the US presidency.
In just a few days, Kamala Harris has managed to reignite the electoral competition and put Donald Trump in jeopardy. Additionally, she raised $200 million in donations, unprecedented in the US in such a short period, and over 170,000 volunteers have signed up to campaign for her promotion.
"The enthusiasm and motivation to support Vice President Harris are real and will be the foundations for winning this race. The election outcome will be very close and will be decided by a small number of voters in a few key states," announced Michael Tyler, the campaign communications director for Harris's election.
While there was skepticism in the first days after Joe Biden's withdrawal regarding Kamala Harris's ability to mobilize voters, today, many analysts and political commentators wonder if this enthusiasm will last until the November elections, if the new entrant in the competition will be able to sustain it.
Trump Fails to Be a Unifying Leader
Kamala Harris's energy has been a massive surprise for everyone. Over the last weekend, over 1,200 electoral events organized by Democrats to support her took place.
She has already given several enthusiastically received speeches, managing to destabilize Donald Trump's campaign strategy.
The former American president remains, for now, the favorite to win a new term, but the situation has rapidly turned against him.
More and more data is emerging that outlines a strong political profile for Kamala Harris.
She is supported by women to a greater extent than Trump, by young people, Hispanics, and voters of color.
The former president is not more successful than Harris in any demographic group that could tilt the balance in the November elections.
One week into the electoral race, the Vice President of the USA is setting the pace of the campaign, with Trump going on the defensive despite the assumption that the tragic event he was a hero of would help him unify America around his candidacy.
The November elections will define the entire political evolution worldwide.
Vladimir Putin bet on a victory for Donald Trump to receive the necessary support to impose peace in Ukraine in his favor.
However, this means a collapse of the democratic system in Kiev and a threat to the entire Europe, with the Republic of Moldova being the first on the list.
100 Decisive Days for the Entire Planet
Joe Biden has been a supporter of Ukraine, a leader who strengthened NATO and developed the partnership with the European Union.
Although Kamala Harris has not yet made her political program public, she has repeatedly stated that Putin is a danger to democracy and a threat to international security.
Our campaign is based on the power of people to fight for the future. A fight for freedom..., where women make decisions about their bodies, not the government. Let's continue this fight with optimism, faith, and hope. When we fight, we win.
Kamala Harris, Vice President of the USA, Democratic Party candidate
After the first week of the electoral campaign, Kamala Harris managed to erase the entire advantage that Donald Trump had over Joe Biden.
Following the debate at the end of June, it was clear to US political experts that the current president has no chance against the Republican leader.
The next 100 days will be full of tension and events, and the whole world will closely watch the confrontation between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
Generally, in such a race, the candidate who comes from behind and generates such excitement among the electorate has a great chance of turning the outcome in their favor.
