Aug 25, 2024, 04:46 PM

Kamala Harris is gaining momentum in the 2024 U.S. presidential race, narrowing the gap with Donald Trump. Following her nomination at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), Harris has seen a boost in national polling averages, leading Trump by 2.6% in the 28-day rolling average as of August 24. This surge comes as Harris replaces President Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket, intensifying the competition with Trump. Harris's entry into the race has also cut Trump's lead in Texas nearly in half. The upcoming debate on September 10 is anticipated to be a significant event in the campaign, potentially influencing voter sentiment further.
