Global News
Joe Biden's endorsement of Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee raises a basic question: How will she fare against Donald Trump? The polling results are mixed.
With Joe Biden stepping down and endorsing Kamala Harris for the United States presidency, the 2024 election landscape has taken an unexpected turn.
But what do recent polls reveal about Donald Trump’s chances against his potential new competitor? The results are mixed: some polls show Democrats hold a favourable view of Harris, others suggest a tight-race between her and Trump.
Biden ended his reelection campaign on Sunday after fellow Democrats lost faith in his ability to beat Trump. The president had faced growing doubts about his reelection chances after a weak and faltering performance in a debate against Trump late last month.
“My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President,” Biden posted Sunday on X. “And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.
After Biden’s announcement, Trump took to the social media platform, Truth Social, saying, “Whoever the Left puts up now will just be more of the same.”

A July 17 poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about six in 10 Democrats believe Harris would do a good job as president. About two in 10 Democrats don’t believe she would, and another two in 10 say they don’t know enough to say.
