Vice President Kamala Harris has gained momentum against former President Donald Trump.

Facoring Harris

Recent polls conducted in early September reveal that Harris leads Trump by five percentage points, a notable shift since she officially entered the race just a month ago.

According to Ziare a poll published by NBC News shows respondents are increasingly favoring Harris, suggesting a growing support for her Democratic message.

"This demonstrates an expanding backing for what we need to achieve in order to advance and counter attempts to divide our country," Harris stated, emphasizing her commitment to unity and progress.

Raised $27 million

In an impressive fundraising effort, Harris raised $27 million at a recent event in New York, signaling her strong financial backing as the campaign progresses. She is expected to deliver a speech on the economy this week, further outlining her vision for America.

In contrast, Trump is reluctant to participate in further debates, particularly one proposed by CNN. He claims that the timing is not favorable, as early voting has already begun in many states.

"The issue with another debate is that it’s too late. She had her chance to debate on Fox, but now she wants a CNN debate because she is losing," Trump remarked, reflecting his strategy to focus on rallies rather than televised confrontations.

As early voting continues across the country, with only three states — Alabama, Mississippi, and New Hampshire — prohibiting in-person early voting, the dynamics of the race could shift dramatically in the coming weeks.

Trump has also indicated that if he loses this election, he may not run again, adding to the stakes of the current political climate.
