There are just 15 days till America announces its 47th president, and there seems to
be a shift from last week. Whilst on Friday, Former president of the United States
Donald Trump took the lead in the polls in five swing states, Harris currently takes
the lead with 49.3%, with Trump just behind with 47.3%.
On October 11th, the former US President, Barack Obama, made a passionate plea
to men from the black community, urging them to join her as a democratic nominee.
Later in his speech, he mocked Donald Trump for his “crazy conspiracy theories, the
two-hour speeches, and word salads” for his debut on the 2024 campaign trail.
Obama is publicly in support of Kamala and attends her campaign rallies regularly,
most recently in Pittsburgh, where it was clear he was apprehensive to criticise
Trump as he’d previously done.
Kamala Harris has also been drawing a heavy focus on being a black woman as her
campaign strategy; although when being sworn into office, she selected to be sworn
as an Indian woman, raising the question; is Harris choosing now to publicly identify
as a black woman, as it appears to be beneficial to her as this move allows her to
connect and potentially exploit a popular minority’s vote, black people in America? If
you look closer at the black male voter's support for various presidential candidates
such as Trump and Biden despite Obama's endorsement, it appears to still be falling.
Harris’ efforts to introduce policies that might encourage an increase from these
voters, such as ensuring crypto protection for black men and aiming to provide 1
million loans to black business owners from this particular demographic, appear to
be failing.
Many have questioned Kamala Harris’ ability to run America, as many reviewed her
office as the Vice President having no real significant contribution. It seems her
abilities to deliver upon her promises are under question, Rapper Lord Jamar
recently stated in a viral video that “Kamala Harris isn't even qualified to run Dunkin Doughnuts or a 7-Eleven.
