United States President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris appeared together at a campaign event in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Labor Day to shore up support from unions and blue-collar workers. Biden, who dropped out of the presidential race in July, promised to support Harris and condemned Trump as anti-union.
Harris pledged to continue Biden’s legacy as the most pro-union administration in US history and emphasized the importance of maintaining American control over US Steel Corp. The event marked their first joint appearance at a campaign rally since Harris officially became the Democratic nominee.
While Harris wants to benefit from her association with Biden, she also aims to project herself as a candidate for change. Polls suggest she is leading Trump nationally and in battleground states, but it is crucial for her to draw a distinction on the economy, which has been a focal point of Republican attacks.
As the first debate between Harris and Trump approaches on September 10, analysts predict that the focus will shift from personality to issues. Battleground states remain volatile, and the campaign landscape could change significantly before election day.
Both Harris and Trump face the challenge of navigating a shifting political environment and convincing voters of their ability to lead the country. The upcoming debate and ongoing campaign events will play a crucial role in shaping public opinion as the election draws nearer.
