Harris’s potential candidacy is also a historic moment for the United States as she could become the first woman and person of South Asian descent to serve as president.

Challenges and Scrutiny Facing Harris

However, Harris faces some serious scrutiny over her previous campaign performance and how people view her efforts on issues such as immigration and voting rights.

Polling and Public Opinion

A recent AP-NORC poll found that about 60% of Democrats believe Harris could perform well as president, although there is significant opposition and uncertainty among some party members.

In the end, Harris’ approval ratings are only slightly higher than Biden’s, with 38.6% of Americans approving of her performance as vice president.

There have also been discussions within the Democratic Party around the possibility of a “mini primary” to consider other candidates before the Democratic National Convention.

Potential Rivals

Potential challengers to Harris’s Presidential aspirations include the likes of Gov. Gavin Newsom and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, but Harris remains a strong frontrunner.

However, it seems unlikely that Former President Trump is worried about Harris’s election campaign as he has never really seemed to take her that seriously in the first place.
