Kamala Harris Takes Lead Over Trump in First Campaign Rally

Kamala Harris, the new Democratic presidential candidate, held her first campaign rally, where she fiercely criticized Donald Trump. A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Harris leading marginally. She emphasized liberal priorities like abortion access and gun control, contrasting with Trump's policies. Biden endorsed Harris after dropping out.

In her first campaign rally since becoming the Democratic presidential candidate, Kamala Harris launched an aggressive attack on Donald Trump. Harris highlighted her background as a former prosecutor, contrasting it sharply with Trump's criminal record. The rally, held at West Allis Central High School in Wisconsin, saw enthusiastic support from the crowd.

Addressing key liberal priorities, Harris pledged to expand abortion access, support labor unions, and tackle gun violence, promising a progressive shift if elected. She criticized Trump for wanting to take the country backward, drawing cheers and chants from the audience.

A national Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Harris leading Trump 44% to 42%. Harris quickly consolidated support within her party after Biden withdrew, and her nomination gained backing from major Democratic leaders. However, control of Congress remains a critical factor for achieving her campaign goals.
