With only a short window of time to generate money for their campaign, the nominee, whoever they are, will be at a disadvantage.
American politics are in a state of uncertainty following US President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential campaign just 106 days before Election Day. The 81-year-old Biden was under tremendous pressure to withdraw from the race following his appalling performance in the June televised debate against former President Donald Trump, but he remained resolute and stated that only “Lord Almighty” himself could convince him to do so. Following his disastrous debate performance, Biden made more mistakes at the NATO conference. He mispronounced the names of his Republican opponent, Kamala Harris, and of President Zelenka of Ukraine, referring to him as President Putin. He also declined to take cognitive tests that would have determined whether or not he was qualified to run for government.
The final straw was an attempt on Trump’s life during a rally in Pennsylvania, which all but clinched the deal for the outgoing US President. The US President, retreating within himself following a case of Covid, was driven to the brink and had to abandon his presidential bid when prominent financiers withdrew from the Biden campaign and prominent Democrats urged him to do so.
Kamala Harris is the most qualified Democratic contender to replace Joe Biden on the ticket, making her the first non-white female and Indian American presidential candidate in US history. Biden has endorsed Harris as the Democratic nominee. Her nomination isn’t official yet, though. The Democratic Party convention in Chicago in August will be the culmination of the process of nominating Biden’s replacement.
Even though Harris is leading the field, there are still several candidates vying for the Democratic nomination: Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker, who is the heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune; Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitner, who has become more well-known within the Democratic Party; California Governor Gavin Newsom, who has been advocating for progressive policies; Josh Shapiro, a rising star in politics from Pennsylvania; North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper; Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear; and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly.
The little amount of time that the nominee has to raise money for their campaign will put them at a clear disadvantage.
In addition to his ardent fans, Trump seeks to attract floaters by taking advantage of the turmoil inside the Democratic party. His infatuations with immigration, the economy, and US foreign policy have a devoted following. A sizable portion of voters have taken to his “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) slogan. On the other hand, Trump’s arrogance might prove to be his demise. It might be unwise to underestimate his Democratic opponent, whoever they are.
It is important to acknowledge the wave of support that the African American and Hispanic populations have shown for the Democrats. In November, the United States of America will witness intriguing events leading up to the election of its 47th President.
