Live Updates: Kamala Harris to Announce Vice Presidential Pick Soon as Donald Trump Hits Georgia Campaign Trail Ahead of 2024 Election

Live Updates: Kamala Harris and Donald Trump News Ahead of the 2024 Election

Washington, D.C. –

With the 2024 presidential election looming, Vice President Kamala Harris is set to announce her running mate soon, while former President Donald Trump is hitting the campaign trail with JD Vance.

Kamala Harris’ vice presidential pick

The clock is ticking as Vice President Kamala Harris finalizes her decision on her running mate. Harris is expected to use the weekend to receive detailed presentations from her vetting team and meet with potential candidates face-to-face. Harris’ pick will serve as a crucial insight into her campaign strategy and will shape her historic campaign, which has sent waves through the Democratic Party.

Trump and Vance on the Campaign Trail

Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance have been actively campaigning in the swing state of Georgia. Trump defended his running mate during the campaign rally and insisted on the necessity to “‘work hard to define” Harris as they prepare for a heated battle in the election.

Presidential Debate

Harris has agreed to a debate on September 10th as previously arranged and pledged to participate regardless of Trump’s attendance. On the contrary, Trump only showed interest in debating at an earlier date on Fox News. The debate standoff continues, offering a hint of potential dramatic moments as the election draws closer.

Harris Wins Democratic Nomination

Adding to the fast-paced political climate, Harris has officially received enough votes from Democratic delegates to win the party’s nomination for president and is set to formally accept it in the coming days. This historic moment marks her as the first Black woman and first Asian-American to lead a major-party ticket.

Trump’s Controversial Comments

As the political dust starts to rise, Trump faced scrutiny over comments he made insinuating that Harris’ racial identity was a recent construct. The claims, deemed by many as offensive and fallacious, led Sen. Laphonza Butler, a close ally to Harris, to call the ex-president’s comments “an insult” and “despicable.”

Survey Shows Neck-To-Neck race Between Harris and Trump

In a recent poll, it was revealed that the general election race between Harris and Trump is considerably close, with no clear leader. The poll findings suggest a tight run to election day, turning up the heat in an already volatile political atmosphere.
