Vice President Kamala Harris accepted her party’s nomination during the Democratic National Convention with a speech criticizing former President Donald Trump. Despite leading in polls, the Harris campaign faced challenges with the release of weak job data and a rumored drop-out from independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. This news shifted the tide in favor of Trump, who was predicted to win the presidential election according to bookkeepers. Kennedy’s withdrawal from the Arizona ballot raised speculation that he may join forces with Trump, potentially swaying his supporters to vote for the former president. Although Harris received an endorsement from Kennedy’s cousin, she has not connected with RFK Jr. or his base. The potential loss of Kennedy’s support could further weaken Harris’s campaign against Trump. The Trump campaign hinted at a special guest appearance alongside the former president, further solidifying support from Kennedy backers. As the race for the White House tightens, the Harris campaign must navigate challenges from both Trump and potential defections from Kennedy supporters to secure a victory in November.
