On July 21, around 11 pm Indian time, Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential candidacy. He took this decision about a month after losing the presidential debate on June 28. The party was constantly pressuring Biden to withdraw his candidacy.
Now, after withdrawing his name, Biden has chosen Vice President Kamala Harris as the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party. However, Kamala's name is yet to be approved by the party.
Kamala is much younger than Biden. She is an expert in responding to the opposition's attacks. She has a strong influence among black voters as well as women. The story contains 4 reasons that make her the best candidate for the Democratic Party...
Reasons why Harris is better than Trump
Young leadership: She is about 22 years younger than US President Joe Biden. If she is made the presidential candidate from her party, she will lead a new generation within the party.
In this way, the American youth whose attraction towards Biden had diminished will again join the Democratic Party in the name of Harris. In the recent past, Harris has become very popular among the youth by speaking on issues like guns, violence, abortion.
Kamala Harris of Indian origin is currently 59 years old. She is not only younger than Biden, but also younger than Trump. There is an age difference of 19 years between the two. In such a situation, she will be able to give a stronger fight to Trump.
Experience in solving international issues: Both domestic and foreign issues are very important in American politics. Kamala Harris is one of the second most experienced leaders of the party after Joe Biden. A large population of America feels that she can strongly fulfill her responsibility in international affairs.
Kamala's stance on Israel or Ukraine has been more clear than Biden's. She is a staunch supporter of the Jewish state Israel. Because of her clear thinking on international issues, she can get the votes of the American people who are staunch supporters of Israel.
Trump will get a reply in his own style: Since the election bugle was sounded in America, Donald Trump has been continuously giving statements against the Democratic Party, while in the Democratic Party, except Kamala, no leader is able to speak frankly on Trump's allegations.
On July 18, during a public meeting in North Carolina, Kamala Harris strongly attacked Trump's agenda one by one. After this, the discussion in media reports intensified that Kamala Harris is the only leader in the Democratic Party who can answer Trump in his own style. The Democratic Party can also benefit from making Kamala the presidential candidate.
Campaign will start against Trump instead of Biden's personality: In the election campaign so far, Donald Trump has been directly questioning Joe Biden's personality. Democrat leaders are also demanding a referendum in the party on Biden's age, memory power, and his staggering walk.
In such a situation, if Kamala is made the presidential candidate, then the entire strength of the Democratic Party will be used in the election campaign against Trump. This will make the one-sided fight currently going in Trump's favor interesting.
When Kamala reached the abortion clinic to support abortion
The debate on abortion has been going on in America for 50 years. In 1972, the US Supreme Court allowed abortion to women who were 12 weeks pregnant in the case 'Roe vs Wade'. This divided the country into two factions.
One believes that killing a baby in the womb is a sin, something Donald Trump's Republican Party supports.
The second group believes that women have full rights over their bodies. If they do not want a child, they have the right to have an abortion in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. They are supported by the Democratic Party.
In March 2024, Kamala Harris visited an abortion clinic. This was the first time in US history that a vice president visited an abortion center on an official visit. According to the New York Times, by doing this, Kamala proved that she is with the women of America in the fight for rights. This may go in her favor in the elections.
When Trump was shot on July 13, he was pointing to a chart showing the number of people who had entered the US illegally during the Democratic Party's rule.
Trump also raised the issue of illegal immigrants in his first speech after being elected as the presidential candidate on July 19. Trump called them aliens.
At the same time, Kamala's Democratic Party is on the backfoot on this issue. After Trump left power in 2020, there was a record increase in the number of illegal immigrants in America.
Indians are at the forefront of those reaching America through Mexico. Between 2022-2023, more than 90 thousand Indians have been arrested for entering America illegally, while Biden himself had given the responsibility of reducing their number to Kamala Harris.
Kamala Harris visited the US-Mexico border in 2021. During this time, she said that illegal immigrants cannot be seen only as a political issue. Their focus should be on tackling the problem at its root. For this, she also announced a package of $ 950 million last year.
Due to the impact of Corona first and then the Russia-Ukraine war, inflation in America reached a record 8%. Trump claims that essential commodities have become expensive by 57%. He claims to reduce the debt burden on America without increasing taxes.
Last year the US government went bankrupt. There was no money left to spend on the people. Whether it is Trump or Biden, the US is dependent on debt to run the government. Every person there has a debt of Rs 17 lakh.
The Biden government is in favor of taxing the rich. Kamala also supports it. Her focus is on funding small businesses and waiving off students' loans.
Kamala demands action against policemen who practice racism
Racism is a big problem in America. Police use violence against them without hesitation. In 2020, the case of George Floyd shocked the whole world.
While Trump is reluctant to criticize those who believe whites are superior, Kamala Harris is among the lawmakers who supported the Justice in Policing Act to take action against police officers of color. However, it did not pass.
Kamala herself is black. Because of this, it will be easy for her to get the support of Asian and black people of America.
