Aug 14, 2024, 01:05 PM

Vice President Kamala Harris has launched a $90 million advertising campaign targeting voters in battleground states, aiming to sharpen the contrast with Republican Donald Trump. The campaign will focus on markets such as Marquette, Alpena, Toledo, Erie, and Youngstown. Despite her lead over Trump in terms of honesty and discipline according to an AP-NORC poll, Harris faces criticism for not having detailed policy proposals on her campaign website and for not holding press conferences or interviews since becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee. The poll also indicates that while Harris is viewed as more honest, with 40% of respondents affirming this, and nearly 50% seeing her as more committed to democracy, Trump is favored on economic and immigration issues. Additionally, Harris is reportedly leading Trump by 8% according to Polymarket.
