Kamala Harris mobilizes supporters in Milwaukee for the election campaign
Milwaukee/Washington (dpa) - at a tension -charged moment for the democratic party, Kamala Harris brought up the challenges and opportunities of the upcoming presidential elections. At her appearance in Milwaukee, the Vice President encouraged her followers with the words: "We know that it will be a tight race until the end." This is not just a statement, but a clear indication of the contradictions and tensions that make up the competition against her republican challenger Donald Trump. Their optimism swung through, but paired with the reality of hard work that is still ahead of them. "No, no, we haven't won yet," she realized, which indicates that the fight for the American presidential office is anything but decided.
Harris, who recently was officially nominated as a presidential candidate during the party congress of the Democrats in Chicago, appeared in Milwaukee in front of an audience that was gathered in the hall in which Trump had held his party congress a month ago. This choice of the event location brought an additional symbolism with it: it is a direct meeting of the two political camps, which Harris saw as a challenge. "We have to work hard until the election," she called to the person present, making it clear that it was much more than just confrontation with Trump; It is about different visions for the future of the United States.
warning of Trump and his politics
In her speech, Harris vehemently warned of the consequences of a possible return of Trump to the White House. "Someone who wants to override the Constitution of the United States should never have the opportunity to stand behind the president of the United States. Never again," she emphasized directly. These words are particularly strong because they refer to Trump's controversial claims about election fraud in the 2020 presidential election.The discussion about Trump's influence and the potential dangers that come from his return is not new nature, but is reinforced by Harris' clear words. This rhetoric could play a crucial role in mobilizing the voter base and emphasize the importance of a strong counter -movement. The Democrats have to convey a clear idea of what they want for the future of the country, and outline the contrast to the Republican views.
unpredictable incidents
at a time when political clarity and beliefs are required, it is of crucial importance for Harris to effectively communicate their message. The upcoming elections that take place on November 5 will not only be a choice, but also a referendum about the different ways that the USA can take.
A scarce voting struggle is emerging
political effects of the 2024 presidential election
The upcoming presidential elections in the United States have an impact on national politics, but also on the international reputation of the country. The Democrats, under the leadership of Kamala Harris, have positioned themselves against a Republican whose presidency was associated with controversy and polarizing decisions. The choice will also decide how the USA reacts to global challenges, such as climate change, international security and geopolitical tensions with countries such as China and Russia.
The discussion about the political orientation that Harris wants to initiate reflects the claim of the Democrats to pursue a progressive agenda that promotes social justice and economic opportunities. In this context, the election in 2024 will also be a choice of direction that could question the country's previous policy and may be redesigned.
surveys and voter behavior
Current surveys show a mixed picture that reflects the uncertainty before the election. A Gallup survey showed that around 40 % of the voters could now be undecided or that their opinion could still change. Especially among the young voters who traditionally vote for the Democrats, there are signs of tiredness towards political establishment. Harris could face this development with special challenges if she failed to mobilize this group of voters.
In addition, teachings from the past elections are important. In the 2020 presidential election, voter participation in young adults and minorities was considered decisive for Joe Biden's victory. According to an analysis of the Pew Research Center, these demographic groups could again make the decisive factor in the next election, which should affect Harris and their team's strategy.
The role of healthcare in the election campaign
During the appearance of Kamala Harris in Milwaukee there was a medical emergency in the audience, which put the mental and physical health of the voters in the foreground. The topics of healthcare and access to medical care are key factors in the political debate and are expected to play a central role in the election campaign. Covid-19 pandemic has illustrated the importance of a functioning health system and sensitized the voters.
Harris has repeatedly spoken out for a comprehensive health reform that aims to reduce the costs and to expand access to medical care. Surveys show that around 70 % of the Americans support a health reform, which could make this topic a potential advantage for the Democrats in the election campaign. An active focus on these topics can help mobilize the electorate and to formulate a convincing argument against the Republicans.
