Trump-Harris race heats up

During the same period, more than 170,000 volunteers also signed up to participate in this campaign. The large amount of donations in a short period of time shows Ms. Harris's appeal after US President Joe Biden announced his support for this female politician in the upcoming White House race in November. However, the above figure is still far from the $ 331 million that former US President Donald Trump collected in the second quarter of 2024.

Ms. Harris currently has the support of the majority of delegates attending the Democratic National Convention, thereby making it likely that she will become the official candidate of this party in the vote on August 1. According to AFP, former US Vice President Al Gore also voiced his support for Ms. Harris on July 28, while emphasizing her environmental achievements.

Regarding recent poll results, Ms. Harris and Mr. Trump are still chasing each other closely. Accordingly, in a poll by The Wall Street Journal with the participation of 1,000 voters, the support rate for Mr. Trump was 49%, 2% higher than Ms. Harris. The online poll by HarrisX/Forbes also showed a similar 2-point gap, in which Mr. Trump received 47% support and Ms. Harris received 45%. Previously, a survey by Reuters/Ipso released on July 23 showed that the support rate for Vice President Harris was higher than that of Mr. Trump, with the figures being 44% and 42%, respectively.

The Harris and Trump campaigns have also been constantly attacking each other on all fronts. According to NBC News, billionaire Elon Musk, a Trump supporter, posted a video clip on July 29 that edited and imitated Vice President Harris' voice, quickly attracting nearly 130 million views. In the clip, Harris called President Biden "old" and called herself an "incompetent presidential candidate."

Harris campaign spokeswoman Mia Ehrenberg immediately condemned the incident: "We believe that the American people want the real freedom, opportunity and safety that Vice President Harris brings, not the fake, edited lies of Elon Musk and Donald Trump."

Trump has previously criticized Harris for her poor handling of border policy, inflation and abortion, even mocking her laugh. Republicans have recently called the vice president the “DEI candidate,” implying that her gender and ethnicity are the reasons she is favored as the Democratic presidential nominee. Vice President Harris and her team, in turn, have focused their attacks on the Republican Party’s abortion policy, while describing the party’s presidential ticket as “totally wacky.”
