44% vs 42%: Kamala Harris Surges Ahead of Trump in Shocking New Poll

Yonhap News

In a recent poll, Vice President Kamala Harris leads former President Donald Trump 44% to 42%.

According to U.S. media reports, Harris first surpassed Trump in a poll conducted by Ipsos on July 21 and 22. The margin of error for this poll is within 3%.

Following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the Democratic presidential candidacy, the Republican Party, now in crisis, has launched a full-scale offensive against the Democrats through various statements and social media platforms.

The Republicans argue that the Democrats have deprived the 14 million voters who chose Biden in the Democratic primaries of their rights by pressuring him to step down.

On July 22, Trump stated on social media, “They stole the race from Biden after he won it in the primaries,” adding, “These people are the real THREAT TO DEMOCRACY!”

The Republican Party frequently finds itself on the defensive against Democrats who label Donald Trump as the greatest threat to democracy. This label stems from his attempts to overturn his election loss and the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot carried out by his supporters. However, they have launched a counterattack using the Democratic candidate change as an opportunity.

The New York Times reported, “It does not appear that Biden’s withdrawal or endorsement of Harris as the candidate violated Democratic party rules or election regulations.”

The Washington Post recently found in a poll of voters in six battleground states that respondents tended to trust Trump more than Biden to respond to threats to democracy.

Amid these promising poll results, Biden is scheduled to deliver a public speech supporting Harris.

On that day, Biden announced via his X account that he would address the nation from the Oval Office the following day at 8 PM Eastern Time, discussing how the government will complete its work and the challenges ahead.

In his speech, he is expected to explain the background of his decision to step down as a candidate and emphasize his commitment to completing his policy agenda during his remaining term until January next year. He may also highlight the urgency of Harris’s potential victory in the presidential election as crucial for safeguarding American democracy.
