Walz brings Harris tailwind before US election

Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, continues to lead Trump in the polls, especially in swing states. Her running mate, Tim Walz, has seen an increase in approval ratings after the Democratic Party convention.

Harris faces scrutiny over her policy agenda, including her stance on fracking and immigration, and her efforts to differentiate from the Biden administration. She is preparing for a TV debate with Trump, where she will address these issues.

Harris is also touring Georgia to boost Democratic chances in the battleground state, focusing on motivating rural Democrats and Black voters. However, uncertainty remains regarding the sustainability of Harris's campaign.

Both campaigns embrace tariffs, with Trump proposing across-the-board surcharges and Harris promising targeted and strategic tariffs to protect American manufacturing. Disinformation in the election, including attacks on Walz's dog, is a concern, and experts warn of its potential impact.

The American public knows who Trump is, but there is still uncertainty surrounding Harris.
