The Trump campaign claims to be ready for Harris’ candidacy, asserting that she represents President Joe Biden’s economic and immigration policies, which have led to his declining popularity among voters.
A Reuters-Ipsos poll released on Tuesday indicated the newly adjusted race is statistically tied. The poll, conducted over the two days since Biden announced his decision not to seek reelection, showed Harris leading Trump by two percentage points, 44% to 42%. Other recent national polls have shown Trump with an edge.
