Vice President Kamala Harris has solidified her position as the prospective future of the Democratic Party since being embraced by Biden on Sunday. Additionally, she had already secured enough votes from the major party to win the nomination, further cementing her status. Harris also received endorsements from various political figures and supporters, including some who had declared their intention to vie for the same office.

Harris held her first campaign meeting in Wisconsin after stepping down from her vice-presidential duties on Monday. Speaking to her local supporters, she stated that the US is not going to return to the chaos of the Trump era.

Last week, the Republicans had their national convention, where they were already sharpening their knives. The situation became even more challenging for Biden, with rumours of Harris assuming a more prominent role. This is why many speakers included Harris in their discussions with the president.

US Election 2024 News: Trump Campaign

According to Trump’s campaign, the 2024 presidential race is their top priority, and they are implementing all the strategies suggested by their advisors. Fox News Digital reports that the campaign believes they are “already in a position of strength on the issue of presidential recon” and declares that they are prepared for the situation without explicitly mentioning Trump’s name. This has become the newly relevant topic of the day.

They have emphasised the importance of challenging President Biden in the nomination process. “The Trump team has been well-prepared for every possible situation that arose, which is clearly outlined in the memos and scripts that detail their methodological and tentative aspects,” said a campaign adviser to Trump.

Current activities such as rallies, talks, and other events are integral to the former president’s lifestyle. He has been travelling the country for quite some time, gaining popularity among his supporters. Additionally, Trump met with world leaders and discussed the current state of global affairs in recent weeks.

Campaign personnel indicate that Donald Trump understands the campaign’s schedule, tactics, and necessity for contacts with world leaders must continue regardless of the Democratic nominee. Therefore, Harris’s entrance into the race has not altered their strategy.

In response to Harris joining the race, Trump’s political team has issued several memos explaining to the public their perspective on the new state of play.

General Election News: Biden Decision to Drop out of the US Election

President Joe Biden addressed the nation on Wednesday, announcing his decision to withdraw from the presidential race. In a thoughtful and uplifting speech, he emphasised the necessity of starting a new chapter in America’s story.

“I am positive that my work as a president, my leadership in the world, and my vision for a brighter America altogether were good reasons for a second term but nothing – nothing – should be prioritized over the preservation of our democracy. That means even personal ambition,” Biden told the reporters at the Oval Office.

Biden carried the banner of his successful foreign policy by pointing out his unwavering backing for Ukraine in its battle with Russia which he took as his most valiant achievement.

After Joe Biden quit the race on Sunday, he endorsed Kamala Harris, who is already on the way to winning the Democratic nomination next month. In his speech, Biden laid the cards on the table of exactly how to shore up Harris. Also gave the must-be-overcome challenge of the voting decision this November.

Barack Obama Plans to Endorse in General Election Kamala Harris

Conventional wisdom suggests that former US President Barack Obama should endorse Kamala Harris soon but is currently holding back to avoid overshadowing Joe Biden’s moment. Both Mr Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama support Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign. Following Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race, Vice President Harris consolidated her party’s support.

Mr Obama has been in regular touch with Ms Harris’ campaign and has privately fully supported her candidacy. Aides to both Obama and Harris are also discussing arrangements for the two to appear together on the campaign trail.

Zelenskiy’s Close Watch on the US Presidential Outcome

No one would bet that no other leader around the world would be observing from afar the ongoing United States elections more than Ukrainian head, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, the reason being that he has good reason to do so.

If Kamala Harris will be the US president in November, she is almost 100% certain to keep Joe Biden’s policy toward Ukraine. If Donald Trump enters the White House on 20 January, he may stop military support for Ukraine. It will cause it to eventually run out of the weaponry it needs to resist Russia.

However, Trump can decide to keep giving Ukraine arms more for some time. Yet aiding the solution – maybe one he conducted – would be preferable. While delivering his speech after the Republican party’s presidential nomination acceptance, Trump had pledged to solve the war in Ukraine.

In Trump’s opinion, supplying arms to Ukraine does not serve any significant US national interests. He believes it drains billions of dollars on a war that never succeeds, diverting much-needed funds that should support domestic needs and counter real threats abroad.

Could Trump’s desire for a victorious resolution lead him to continue supplying weapons to Ukraine, even at the risk of appearing weak compared to Vladimir Putin? Possibly. However, considering his comments on Ukraine, this election news will most likely impact the future course of events significantly.
