Harris is thinking about a big battle.
Harris-Trump fighting remotely.
Harris is thinking about the big battle, Biden and his deputy appeared in public for the first time after the president’s departure from the US 2024 election battles, while Trump never misses an opportunity to attack his rival, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris appeared together in Maryland on stage, but the cheers were almost all for him.
In summary, an interesting frame of an unusual event that, after months of criticism and controversy, for the first time since the announcement of the White House tenant’s withdrawal from the presidential campaign, shows two senior members of the US government together.
What was supposed to be an organizational gathering focusing on reducing prescription drug costs for Medicare recipients quickly turned into an election rally where Biden reaffirmed his support for Harris a few days after the Democratic convention in Chicago, the last big event before the 2024 US elections.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the spectrum, former US President Donald Trump once again tried to divert attention by holding a press conference at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. During the conference, he launched harsh criticisms and attacks against his opponents, including the current vice president, Harris, whom he now sees as a tangible threat.
The Harris operation was successful.
During this event at Prince George’s Community College in Largo, Maryland, just a half-hour drive from Washington D.C., Biden and Harris announced agreements to reduce drug costs under the Medicare negotiation program, including treatments for diabetes and heart failure.
As emphasized by The Washington Post, this gathering was promoted as an official White House event but clearly had a political framework, which Biden explicitly stated from the very beginning of his speech.
Referring to Harris, he said, ‘My son is an incredible partner in the progress we’ve made, and he will be an extraordinary president.’
Harris, on the other hand, should dedicate more of his speeches to praising Biden and his leadership, but according to US media reports, it was clear from the beginning that each time the name of the Vice President was mentioned instead of Biden’s, it was encouraged.
This event reflects a complex political moment for Democratic leaders, as Biden seeks to end his White House experience positively while also wanting to give credibility to Harris and increase her chances of winning, while Harris tries to defend her candidacy for the presidency without disrespecting Biden or putting him in the spotlight.
A Warning Bell for Trump
Harris’ election campaign, which has been ongoing for a month, has so far been characterized by a comprehensive approach to building a better future, arguing that essentially Trump and the Republicans want to take America backwards.
The former president, in his own event in New Jersey, launched significant attacks against Harris with full force in return.
As highlighted by the Hill newspaper, which closely follows the events in the corridors of Washington, it seems that Trump is increasingly upset by the fact that polls show how Harris’s entry into the field has diminished his lead over Biden.
This New York capitalist has used a wide range of names for Harris, calling her a communist who destroys the whole world or even a radical liberal from California.
Trump then argued against Biden’s government’s economic results by claiming that the current mortgage interest rate is around 10% for Harris.
In fact, on Friday, August 15, the average interest rate for a 30-year mortgage in the United States was 3.65%.
When Trump was asked if personal attacks on Harris could backfire, Trump openly defended his right to attack opponents and said, ‘I think I have the right to personal attacks. I don’t have much respect for her.’
I don’t have much respect for her intelligence, and I think she will be a terrible president.
What should we expect?
The next event on the horizon in the United States of America is the Democratic National Convention scheduled for August 19-22 in Chicago in 2024.
At the Republican convention in Milwaukee last month, Trump, after narrowly escaping an assassination attempt a few days earlier, was almost embraced as a godly figure.
Now it is the Democrats’ duty to support their candidate and his new deputy, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
When Biden withdrew from the race for the White House, representatives who had pledged support to him during the primaries became disloyal to him.
While they were free to support any candidate they wanted, Harris quickly solidified her support among party members, including the Clintons, the Obamas, and Biden himself, and officially became the Democratic nominee with around 4,000 delegate votes earlier this month.
Therefore, the convention in Illinois will likely be an electoral event and program.
Harris, the first black woman to be nominated for the US presidency, will have the opportunity to give a more defined identity to her electoral struggles, dictate its pace, and launch its slogans.
She could also express her opinions on major domestic policy issues such as abortion or foreign policies like the crisis in the Middle East.
At the end, the number two person in the government can bid farewell gracefully to the man who brought him to the White House, the current President of the United States, Joe Biden.
The first public appearance of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris after the President’s withdrawal from the re-election campaign presents an image of a united and confident Democratic party, which may be more symbolic than real.
Harris, with the strong support expressed by representatives for her candidacy and the polls giving her an edge over Donald Trump both nationally and in several key states, heads to the convention.
The Vice Presidential nominee is not without weaknesses, and if these weaknesses become too apparent, it could increase the risk of the rifts within the Democratic world becoming clear in Chicago.
Beyond the recent chaotic attacks, the Republican campaign has begun to exploit these vulnerable points.
In this regard, Biden’s presence at a local college in Prince George’s County is seen as a clear signal of unity with the people and voters, as well as a reassuring message to those concerned that Harris may stray far from the current government’s agenda if she reaches the White House.
