Kamala Harris, the 49th and incumbent vice president of the United States, announced her 2024 campaign for president on July 21, 2024,[5] after President Joe Biden withdrew his bid for reelection and endorsed her.[6]

Harris, a member of the Democratic Party, rose to national prominence in 2016 during her campaign for the United States Senate. She became more widely known when she sought the party's nomination for the 2020 presidential election but withdrew from the race in 2019.[7] She endorsed Joe Biden and was chosen to be his running mate in 2020.[8] After Biden and Harris won the general election, she became the first female vice president of the United States upon her inauguration in 2021.[9]

Harris advocates a similar domestic platform to Biden, supporting national abortion protections, LGBT+ rights, and legislation to address climate change. She also supports environmental justice and reforms to the immigration system. On foreign policy, she similarly to Biden opposes China and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but has been more sympathetic than Biden to Palestinians during the Israel–Hamas war.

If Harris wins the 2024 Democratic Party nomination, she would become the first Black woman and first Asian American to be nominated for president by a major political party.[10] If elected president, Harris would become the first female and first Asian-American president of the United States.[11]

On July 22, Harris secured enough delegate endorsements to become the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee; such endorsements are non-binding until the party's formal vote, which Democratic officials say they plan to hold by August 7.[12][13]

Background

Harris began an initial run for the presidency in January 2019, at the time as U.S. senator from California.[14] In debates, Harris was criticized by opponents over her record as Attorney General of California, notably regarding her past positions on marijuana, cash bail, parole reform, and alleged negligence in investigating police misconduct, among other issues.[15][16] Stagnant polling and fundraising struggles in November began to signify a possible end to her campaign. Given inconsistencies in staffing, a lack of funds, and a generally poorly-managed campaign, she officially withdrew from the Democratic primaries in December 2019.[17] She endorsed Joe Biden on March 8, 2020[18], and was chosen by Biden to be his running mate on August 11, 2020.[8] After Biden and Harris won the general election, she became the first female vice president of the United States upon her inauguration on January 20, 2021.[9]

In October 2023, Harris refused to speculate about what would happen if Biden, the incumbent president and expected Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election, were to drop out of the race. Joe Biden's age, which at the time was 80, was being used as a "battering ram" by Republicans.[19] After the first presidential debate on June 27, 2024, concerns grew about then-presumptive nominee Biden's age and fitness to serve a second term.[20] Biden initially pushed back "aggressively" at the idea that he should drop out.[21] On June 28, New York magazine wrote that while most Democrats did not want Harris to replace him, she would be the most likely choice if he were to drop out; she had higher approval ratings than Biden and other Democratic contenders for the 2028 presidential election, like Gavin Newsom.[22]

On social media, in reaction to the debate, users who wanted Harris as the nominee posted an old clip of her asking an audience: "You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you," meaning that a person's "substance" is not created independently, but rather is the result of their environment. This video became an Internet meme, and coconuts became a symbol of Harris's campaign; the attention the video brought towards Harris boosted the idea of her being the nominee.[23] "What can be, unburdened by what has been," has similarly surfaced as a meme associated with Harris and her campaign.[24]

By July 3, Harris was being discussed as Biden's potential replacement by senior Democrats, and various Democrats' reactions to the choice ranged from "acceptance to trepidation to resignation".[25] She defended Biden, saying that the debate "wasn't his finest hour" but that "the outcome of this election cannot be determined by one day in June."[26] Nonetheless, her allies began to strategize on how to make her the Democratic choice if he dropped out.[27] She was a frequent target of speeches during the 2024 Republican National Convention from July 15 to 18, with speakers frequently referring to the "Biden-Harris" presidency.[28][29] On July 17, the campaign for Donald Trump, Joe Biden's then-competitor in the election, refused to select a date for a vice presidential debate with JD Vance, Trump's running mate, saying that it was unclear who the Democrats' vice presidential nominee would be if Biden were to withdraw.[30]

On July 18, The Hill reported that in the next few days, Biden would make a speech about the future of his political career, and that Congressional Democrats expected Harris to be the new nominee.[31] By July 19, Democrats were "quietly mapping" how Harris would win in the election,[32] but other candidates such as Gretchen Whitmer and Josh Shapiro, were also being considered.[33] Following pressure from Democrats, Biden withdrew from the election on July 21, 2024, and endorsed Harris as his successor.[34]

Campaign

On July 22, Harris received enough state delegate endorsements to win the nomination and become the presumptive nominee.[35] While the endorsements were non-binding, CNN estimated on July 23 she has secured enough delegates to win the nomination.[12]

Announcement

On July 21, 2024, Harris announced her intention to run for the Democratic nomination,[5] and the "Biden for President" campaign committee filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to change the name of the committee to "Harris for President".[36]

Fundraising

The day Biden's withdrawal was announced, Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue reported raising more than $50 million, its largest donation day since Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death in 2020.[37] In the first 24 hours of Harris's candidacy, the presidential campaign raised $81 million in small-dollar donations, the highest single-day total of any presidential candidate in history.[38]

Events

Harris held her first campaign rally on July 23, 2024, at the West Allis Central High School gymnasium in the West Allis suburb of Milwaukee, where the Republican National Convention was held a week earlier.[39] The event reportedly grew a larger audience than any event held by Biden's 2024 campaign, according to campaign spokesperson Kevin Muñoz, who expected around 3,000 people to attend.[40]

Harris is using Beyoncé's song "Freedom" as the official song for her campaign, having obtained permission from Parkwood Entertainment on the day of her first rally.[41][42] A digital ad featuring the song debuted on July 25.[43]

Platform

Domestic issues

Abortion

Harris supports national protections for abortion, which were reversed after Roe v. Wade (1973) was overturned by Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization (2022). Under the Biden administration, she prominently campaigned for abortion rights.[44]

Climate change

Harris is an advocate for environmental justice to address the impact of climate change on lower-income areas and people of color. Under Biden, she supported his climate legislation.[44]

Immigration

In 2023, as vice president, Harris announced pledges of US$950 million from private companies into Central American communities to address the causes of mass migration, such as poverty. She supported a proposed bill which would close the border if too crowded and fund border patrol agents. She believes the immigration system is "broken" and needs to be fixed, and she says most Americans believe this.[44]

LGBT rights

Harris is a strong supporter of the LGBTQ movement.[45] In 2022, President Joe Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act, which requires states to recognize same-sex marriages and interracial marriages even as the Supreme Court took aim at marriage equality.[46] At the signing ceremony, Harris and others gave speeches,[47] and Biden presented Harris with a pen as recognition of years of work for marriage equality.[48] In 2023 Harris visited the Stonewall Inn and denounced legislative attacks on transgender rights in states across the country. In July 2024, Harris conducted a fundraiser in the LGBTQ hotspot of Provincetown, Massachusetts.[49][50]

Foreign policy

NATO and Ukraine

Harris is expected and has signaled to generally follow Biden's foreign policy on NATO and Ukraine, supporting both in the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[44][51]

Israel and Palestine

Harris meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog (top) and UN Secretary-General António Guterres (bottom) in discussions on the war and ensuing humanitarian crisis.

A supporter of the two-state solution,[44][52] Harris is seen as more sympathetic to Palestinians than Biden, who has described himself as a Zionist and has a long history with Israeli leaders.[51] Despite that, analysts expect that U.S. policy toward Israel would not be greatly affected if Harris is elected.[51] Regarding the Israel–Hamas war, analysts expect Harris to continue Biden's approach.[53] Following Hamas' attack on Israel in 2023, Harris strongly supported Israel's offensive,[54][53] stating that "the threat Hamas poses to the people of Israel must be eliminated".[44] However, she has since criticized Israel's approach and the Gaza humanitarian crisis.[51] In March 2024, Harris opposed Israel's invasion of Rafah,[44] called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza,[53][44] and stated that the situation in Gaza is a "humanitarian catastrophe".[44] She has described young Americans who are protesting against Israel's actions in Gaza as "showing exactly what the human emotion should be", but said she "absolutely rejects" some of their statements, despite understanding "the emotion behind it."[54] In a speech, Harris was described by USA Today as "coming close to accusing Israel of war crimes" when she said international humanitarian law must be respected in the conflict.[55] Former Biden administration officials said in an interview to Politico that Harris was less committed to the Israel policy and that one was "cautiously optimistic" she would change it.[52] Harris also declined to preside over a speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on July 24, instead going to a campaign event.[56] After the speech, she condemned pro-Hamas protestors, pro-Hamas graffiti and the burning of an American flag at Union Station.[57] The next day, after she met with Netanyahu, she said, "Israel has a right to defend itself, and how it does so matters." She continued that Israel must agree to the a ceasefire and hostage deal and work towards a two-state solution, emphasizing Palestinian suffering.[58]

China

Harris meeting with Xi Jinping during the APEC Thailand 2022

During the 2020 vice presidential debate, she criticized former President Donald Trump's imposition of tariffs on Chinese imports, accusing Republicans of losing the trade war with China and losing hundreds of thousands of jobs as a result.[59]

Harris has advocated for "de-risking" from Beijing, a policy that encourages reducing Western economic dependence on China.[60] Harris is expected to continue deepening American alliances in Asia and the Pacific with the intention of curbing China's rising power both economically and militarily. Harris has previously spoken out against human rights abuses in Hong Kong and co-sponsored the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act and Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act.[61] Harris has previously stated her support of Taiwan's self-defense, criticized Chinese naval harassment of Philippine vessels, and supported freedom of navigation in the South China Sea.[62][61]

India

Harris meeting Narendra Modi in Washington, D.C., in 2021

In 2019, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi repealed Article 370, ending the semi-autonomous status of Indian-administered Kashmir. Harris rebuked the move, saying "we must remind Kashmiris that they are not alone in the world."[63][64] In 2023, Harris entertained Modi at a state dinner and praised the Indian prime minister for his leadership.[65][66]

Endorsements

The Democratic Party quickly coalesced around her following Biden's withdrawal and his endorsement of Harris. The vast majority of Congressional Democrats endorsed Harris, including senior officials such as Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and former Speaker and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi.[67][68] Additionally, all Democratic governors have endorsed Harris.[69] On July 26, former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama endorsed Harris in a joint statement.[70]

Vice presidential selection

Polling

In election polls, Harris has been shown to perform slightly better than Biden in the general election, but still trails Trump as of July 24, 2024.[71][72][73]
