KAMALA HARRIS SECURES DELEGATE SUPPORT FOR LIKELY DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION

 

Washington, D.C.

US Vice President Kamala Harris has secured enough pledged delegate support to likely clinch the Democratic nomination for the 2024 presidential election. Facing a potential showdown with former President Donald Trump, Harris's campaign will rely heavily on the support of Black voters, who were instrumental in Joe Biden's 2020 victory.

A recent AP-NORC poll indicates that while 6 in 10 Democrats believe Harris would perform well as president, only 3 in 10 Americans overall share this confidence. Black voters, however, view her more positively. Many Democrats, including the Congressional Black Caucus, have endorsed Harris, citing her experience and vision.

Despite endorsements, some voters remain skeptical. Johnny Bester, a 37-year-old from Atlanta, noted Harris's lack of visibility during her vice presidency, stating, "I'm not loyal to any brand of politics... I feel like a lot of us forgot that she was even in office."

Harris, who is of Jamaican and Indian descent, aims to energize Black and Asian voters. As the election approaches, her ability to connect with and mobilize key demographics will be crucial to her success.
