Kamala Harris Must Conquer Democrat’s ‘California Curse’

After a virtual “roll-call of Democratic Party delegates,” Vice President Kamala Harris is anticipated to be officially announced as the presumed Democratic nominee for the US presidential election within the next two weeks. She will next compete against Republican contender Donald Trump in a full-fledged, warlike race for the presidency.

Kamala Harris aims for White House, aims to break ‘California Curse’

Kamala Harris could become the first female president and woman of color with Indian and Jamaican heritage, as well as the first Democrat to win the presidency from a strong political base in California. 

Democrat politicians who have established careers in Washington have seen little noticeable gains. 

California has produced successful high-level politicians, but they have all been men and Republicans, and Midwesterners generally have no issue with Californians as long as they are conservative.

Vice President Kamala Harris has secured enough Democratic delegates to become her party’s nominee against Republican Donald Trump, according to an Associated Press survey. 

Top Democrats rallied behind Harris following President Joe Biden’s reelection bid, with prominent officials, party leaders, and political organizations backing her. Harris’ campaign set a new 24-hour record for presidential donations on Monday.

What the Survey indicates 

Kamala Harris has secured the support of over 1,976 delegates from Democratic delegates, including Texas and California, according to an AP survey. 

The survey indicates that Harris has enough support to secure her party’s nomination to run against Donald Trump. However, the survey is unofficial and delegates can vote for their preferred candidate during the nomination process. 

As 100 days remain until the elections, polls show Harris and Trump essentially tied, setting the stage for a close-fought campaign for the US presidency elections scheduled later this year.
