- Kamala Harris ties with Donald Trump in recent poll.
- Harris erases Trump’s previous lead as Biden exits the race.
- Vice presidential pick announcement expected soon.
A new poll revealed on Sunday that Kamala Harris has drawn level with Donald Trump, changing the dynamics of the upcoming election. As the November 5 election approaches, Harris has closed the gap that Trump had been widening before President Joe Biden announced he would not seek re-election.
The CBS News/YouGov poll shows Harris with a one percent lead over Trump nationwide. This is a significant shift from Trump’s earlier five-point lead over Biden.
In the critical swing states, Harris and Trump are now even. These states are crucial in deciding the Electoral College outcome in US elections.
Harris, Biden’s vice president and the first Black and South Asian woman in the role, entered the race only last month. She has quickly gained traction, presenting strong numbers for a Democratic candidate.
Harris is expected to announce her vice-presidential pick soon, a decision that could influence her campaign significantly. This announcement might happen as early as Sunday or Monday.
Speculation suggests Harris may choose a white man to balance the ticket, likely a moderate Democrat to counter Republican criticisms that she is too far to the left. This move could be pivotal as she aims to become America’s first female president.
