Kamala Harris, now a candidate for the Presidency of the United States, is on the right track to become the first black woman to direct the presidential list of a great party as candidate of the Democratic Party, which puts her position on the main global questions under the spotlight.
Kamala Harris, now a candidate for the Presidency of the United States, has a chance to become the first black woman to direct the presidential list of a big party. Its position on the main global questions, including Gaza, is now under the spotlight.
The current vice-president has strengthened his favorite status to succeed President Joe Biden as a candidate of the Democratic Party for the November presidential election, winning a wave of approvals, including the unreserved support of Biden himself.
On the issue of Gaza, Harris should remain widely faithful to Biden’s policies. She has repeatedly promised to support the security of Israel, while expressing her sympathy for Palestinian civilians in Gaza. His next meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his visit to the United States will be scrutinized closely.
Beyond Gaza, Harris maintains a line similar to Biden on other international issues. It firmly supports Ukraine against Russia, having announced aid of $ 1.5 billion at a recent summit. Regarding China, it should continue the strategy of containment of Chinese influence, in particular by reaffirming support for Taiwan. Harris also maintains a firm position towards Russia, supporting NATO and sanctions against Moscow.
Since the removal of Biden from the race on Sunday, the Harris campaign has experienced significant momentum. Democrats have paid $ 81 million into donations in just 24 hours, marking the largest online fundraising for the party since 2020. This massive financial support highlights the enthusiasm of the Democrats for the candidacy of Harris, despite the challenges that await him on the international scene.
