Kamala Harris
Kamala Harris confessed that she and her team have raised $540 million in less than one month since the launch of her presidential campaign. Most of the donations kept flowing in during the Democratic National Convention held last week.
The donations flowed in on Sunday when her campaign, the Democratic National Convention, was conducted. Her campaign manager, Jen O’Malley Dillion, released a memo in which he stated that $82 million came from the convention last week. The rest was a symbol of her powerful candidacy in the current presidential campaign.

Dillon said, “This is the most ever for any presidential campaign in this time span”.
Kamala Harris showed interest in becoming a candidate for president on July 21 when Joe Biden had to step down after being tested positive for Covid.
Joe Biden’s stepping down also included pressure from fellow Democrats who were concerned about his cognitive abilities to run for the presidency. The debate was initiated on June 27 when he spoke against Republican Donald Trump.
Kamala Harris’ views about Trump
Kamala Harris is of the view that Trump has to put a lot of effort into keeping the media spotlight on him. Harris’ candidacy has already created a buzz in the political momentum as it was a quick decision after Biden’s departure.
Earlier this week, Harris and her vice presidential running fellow, Tim Waltz took their campaign on a bus tour for the White House. The bus went through Georgia in search of support from common people as she looks forward to the November 5 elections.
Since the launch of her presidential campaign, especially after Kamala Harris accepted the nomination for US president, excitement has soared. 100,000 red, blue and white balloons were floated into the air to celebrate her candidacy.
A black woman from Maryland, Charlene Dukes’ eyes were filled with tears of happiness as she said, “It was when she spoke about her family, her upbringing, which is so similar to many of us”.
Dukes explained that Harris and her aspirations resonated with most of the common people of the US as many are not born with a silver spoon in their mouth. The black woman proclaimed that one has to go through the struggles of life himself before admitting to the fact that other people are feeling the same.
The prospect of selecting a woman of color as US president is a unique phenomenon in the history of US politics, she added. It has not been witnessed before ever in its 248-year history that left her “euphoric”.
Harris was satisfied when she saw people welcoming her with open arms and warm hearts. The party leaders see her as a historic figure and “president of joy”. They are hopeful that Harris would be the one ending Trump’s “politics of darkness”.
On the other hand, Trump is asking his supporters to “Fight! Fight! Fight!” while Harris is content that “When we fight, we win!”
Kamala Harris knows that she is about to face tough competitors and an even tougher crowd. After six weeks of accepting presidential candidacy, she gained a fragile lead in opinion polls that appeared as her final sprint in the race.
Some critics are still reviewing her position as slightly weaker as Harris has not yet been able to outline detailed plans that she wishes to pursue once she is elected as President of the United States.
Issues like climate crisis, crime rate and immigration are some of the most notable ones at the moment. However, she has plans for a detailed interview in her schedule that would shed light on her leadership style, changed policy positions and stress upon gender equality in distinguished leadership roles like the presidency.
