“I haven’t even started yet”: what is the phenomenon of Kamala Harris’ high ratings Vera Konoval

US Vice President Kamala Harris is highly likely to make Donald Trump faces competition in the presidential election this November. Her support is steadily growing.

Kamala Harris's ratings have increased and she now leads Trump by two percentage points. Russian opposition journalist Igor Yakovenko told Channel 24 why Americans are so supportive of a possible presidential candidate.

“Trump on Defense”

Kamala Harris has already shown that she will become a serious competitor for Donald Trump in the election race. According to the latest polls, she already has 44% of the votes against Trump's 42%. This, it is worth noting, is an incredible result, given that the Democrats have not yet officially nominated Kamala Harris as a presidential candidate.

She hasn’t even started yet and hasn’t done anything, she just entered (in the election race – Channel 24), and now she has a small, but advantage. Kamala Harris has emerged from the shadow of Joe Biden, and it has become clear that she is not “easy prey” for Trump, as he first stated, emphasized Igor Yakovenko.

Indeed, after After Joe Biden announced that he was withdrawing his candidacy, Trump said that it would be even easier for him to defeat Kamala Harris than Donald Trump. However, it seems that the hopes of the former US President have already dissipated.

“I think the situation is not hopeless (for Harris – Channel 24). Trump is now on the defensive in this confrontation,” – noted the journalist.

Why Americans choose Harris

Interesting to note , that Donald Trump also said that he is ready for a debate with Kamala Harris and wants it to take place as quickly as possible.

It is clear that Harris has the resources, the capabilities and the strategy. It is still unclear to me what tactics she will choose against Trump. Will it be a “prosecutor versus a criminal” tactic, which has already manifested itself to a certain extent, or will it be a “globalist versus isolationist” tactic, or will it be a “progress versus stagnation” tactic,” Yakovenko noted.

After the debate with Trump, Harris may gain more support from Americans. Although even now the level of her support is very high as for a person who only a few days ago entered the process of the electoral race.

“Her supporters became those who until now could not to decide, the electorate of Nikki Haley (Trump's rival in the primaries – Channel 24) and these are, of course, those opponents of Trump who could not vote for Joe Biden, because he was too hopeless Now all those. those who fear the coming of Trump have received hope,” the journalist concluded.
