Kamala Harris has officially secured the broad support needed to become the presumptive Democratic nominee for the upcoming presidential election. In a statement released by her campaign, Harris expressed gratitude for the support she has received and affirmed her commitment to uniting the party, the nation, and defeating Donald Trump in November. She emphasized the choice between two different visions for the future of the country and highlighted her belief in upholding democratic values and equal rights.
Meanwhile, a CBS News/YouGov poll revealed that a vast majority of registered Democrats approve of Joe Biden withdrawing from the presidential race, with many expressing increased motivation to vote now that he is out of the race. The poll also indicated strong support for Kamala Harris as a replacement nominee, with many Democrats believing that the party’s chances of beating Donald Trump in November have improved since Biden’s announcement.
On the international front, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggested that a deal to secure the release of hostages held in Gaza could be nearing, following efforts to reach a ceasefire mediated by Egypt and Qatar. Netanyahu is expected to meet with both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris during his visit to Washington, where Harris is faced with making important decisions regarding her potential running mate for the upcoming election. Harris is also treading carefully on the issue of Israel and Gaza, with experts noting a generational difference in her approach compared to Biden’s stance.
