Biden has thrown in the towel and Kamala Harris looks set to take over the Democratic nomination.

But this fall’s presidential election can be a real shocker.

Trump leads Harris by just one percentage point, according to the latest polls.

  • President Biden drops out and Kamala Harris is supported by heavy Democrats such as Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg.
  • Opinion polls show Trump leading Harris by only 1% ahead of the fall presidential election, which could be a shocker.
  • Newsom describes Harris as “tough, fearless and stubborn” and sees her as best suited to challenge Trump’s vision and lead the country forward.

    After yesterday’s announcement, several heavy Democrats have already come out and supported Vice President Kamala Harris. Including governors Gavin Newsom from California and Josh Shapiro from Pennsylvania, who were previously pointed out as possible presidential candidates.

    “Tough. Fearless. Stubborn. With our democracy and future at stake, there is no one better suited to make a case against Donald Trump’s dark vision and guide our country in a better direction,” writes Newsom at X.

    Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, as well as Democratic senators Mark Kelly and Eliabeth Warren, have also shown their support for the vice president.

    A measurement that Washington Post did earlier in July also show that 70 percent of Democratic voters would be “satisfied” with Harris as a candidate if Biden were to drop out.

    Leading by one percent

    A comparison of opinion polls from a number of American TV channels, as carried out by CNN, shows that the election between Harris and Trump could be a real shocker in November.

    Six different polls from, among others, CBS, Fox and NBC show that Trump gathers 48 percent of voters nationally, against Harris’s 47 percent.

    All surveys were conducted after the debate between Biden and Trump, where the incumbent president received harsh criticism for his performance. But only one of them was made after the assassination attempt on Trump on July 13.

    How yesterday’s announcement affects the state of opinion remains to be seen.
