With President Joe Biden stepping down, Vice President Kamala Harris has emerged as the Democratic contender for the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Harris, the first female, Black, and South Asian vice president, is now running to make history as the first woman president of the United States. Her campaign will focus on continuing the Biden administration’s efforts on climate action, healthcare reform, and addressing social and racial inequalities.
On the Republican side, Donald Trump is the frontrunner, seeking a return to the White House. Trump’s campaign centers on promises to restore conservative values, reduce government regulations, and tighten immigration policies. He also supports keeping Tik Tok on air. The contest between Harris and Trump is expected to be highly polarizing, with both candidates representing starkly different visions for America’s future.
Key election issues such as the economy, inflation, immigration, and healthcare are likely to dominate the race as the nation heads toward what promises to be a historic and fiercely fought election in November 2024.
