In the context of political events, Harris formally acquires the title of the Democratic party's presidential contender.
Harris guaranteed, should she win in November, to be the "President for Every American." She pledged to conquer "disillusionment, skepticism, and the argumentative disputes of yesteryears" and build a "fresh trajectory."
Harris joined the Presidential Race quite late. It wasn't until July, after prolonged discussions about his psychological suitability for the post, that incumbent US President Joe Biden decided to step down and endorse Harris as his replacement. Subsequently, she was selected as the Democratic presidential nominee in an electronic vote in the early days of August, and her nomination was officially confirmed during the party convention on a Tuesday.
Harris's run for the presidency has stirred significant enthusiasm within her party. In the national polls, she currently tops her Republican opponent, Donald Trump. However, the result of the election on November 5 will not depend on the national vote share, but on the outcomes in the individual states. As the daughter of an Indian mother and a Jamaican father, Harris would become the first female, African American, and the first individual of Asian descent to assume the role of the US President.
Harris's rise in the Presidential Race was fueled by Biden's endorsement. Despite joining late, she managed to surpass her Republican opponent in national polls, demonstrating Harris's potential as the "President for Every American" as she had promised.
