U.S. Democratic President Joe Biden has decided to drop his re-election bid and has issued a statement of support for Vice President Harris. According to Reuters, Harris made her first campaign speech on Monday (22) at her campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, saying that she would use her experience as a prosecutor to “take on” former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee in the United States. She added that she “understands the type of Trump”.
“I’ve dealt with all kinds of criminals. There are abusers of women, there are fraudsters who cheat consumers, there are crooks who break the rules for their own personal gain.” In his speech that day, Harris said, “So listen to me, I understand the type of Donald Trump. I will proudly use my experience against him in this campaign.” Before becoming Biden’s vice president, Harris was California’s attorney general, the report said.
Currently, Trump is facing a number of criminal charges. According to the Associated Press, Trump was subjected to a total of four criminal charges, he was convicted in May on the case of New York State “hush money”, but the sentencing time due to the Federal Supreme Court ruling postponed from this month to September. The trial date of the “secret documents” case has been postponed indefinitely, and the “interference in the 2020 presidential election” case, also led by Special Counsel Smith, has also been significantly delayed due to the Federal Supreme Court’s decision, and Trump’s “attempted reversal” in Georgia has been postponed indefinitely. Trump’s “attempted flip” case in Georgia has been delayed due to “peachy news” from the lead prosecutor. The latter two criminal cases are believed to be difficult to start before the presidential election on November 5 this year.
As previously reported, under intense pressure from within the Democratic Party, President Joe Biden announced in a statement on the afternoon of July 21st local time that he was withdrawing from the 2024 U.S. presidential race and expressed his support for Vice President Harris to take over the baton to secure the Democratic Party nomination to run for president. This means that Harris has only 107 days to consolidate the support of Democrats and establish himself as a credible national leader. On the other hand, sources told Reuters that the Trump campaign has been preparing for Harris’s possible “rise” for weeks and plans to try to tie her closely to Biden’s immigration and economic policies, and that Trump’s team is planning to launch a series of negative ads attacking Harris in the areas mentioned above, according to CNN, which cited sources familiar with the matter. areas to attack Harris.
In addition, just as the U.S. election is getting tighter by the day, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departed for Washington, D.C., on the 22nd of local time. According to AFP, a Harris aide told the outlet on the 22nd that Harris will meet with the visiting Netanyahu this week. The aide added that the meeting would be held separately from a possible meeting between Biden and Netanyahu.
