NEW DELHI:
The course of the US presidential election has changed a lot in the past 2 months. It all started with President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump‘s debate which was called a disaster.
The sudden assassination attack on Trump by a 20-year-old kitchen worker. Later on, Biden withdrew from the race and quickly endorsed Kamala Harris for the presidency.
Harris’s campaign raised $81 million within 24 hours of the announcement. Last week, she introduced Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, earning widespread praise on social media, where many embraced his nickname, “Coach Walz.”
Harris is now leading Trump in four key battleground states, including Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, with a four-point advantage—an improvement over Biden’s earlier polling numbers.
Trump campaign officials dismissed the latest poll, conducted by The New York Times and Siena College, claiming it “dramatically understated” Trump’s support. According to a memo obtained by Newsweek, the campaign argued that these public surveys were deliberately intended to suppress enthusiasm for Trump.
Over the weekend, Trump reinforced this narrative on Truth Social, stating, “I’m doing really well in the presidential race, leading in almost all of the REAL polls, despite the Democrats’ unprecedented move to change their primary candidate. I did great in 2016 and WON, did much better in 2020, getting many millions more votes than in ‘16, but this 2024 campaign is shaping up to be my best yet.”
