Global Compass: Kamala Harris Gains Ground? The 2024 Race Tightens

Know the top international stories in this week’s Global Compass.

In our featured story, we discuss the US presidential debate and how the Americans perceived it.

In an interview with Seema Sirohi, US-based journalist and columnist, the shifting dynamics of the 2024 presidential race was discussed.

The disastrous Biden-Trump debate has provided the Democrats with a crucial opportunity to regain momentum. The nomination of Kamala Harris has invigorated the party, leading to increased volunteerism and financial support.

As the race becomes increasingly competitive, Harris’s evolving stance on key issues like illegal immigration and abortion is highlighted.

Despite initial setbacks, Harris’s current approach to immigration reflects a pragmatic shift from earlier positions, while her passionate advocacy for abortion rights is seen as a significant strength.

The discussion also explores whether America is ready for a woman president, particularly a woman of colour, noting that Harris’s strategy of focusing on her qualifications rather than her gender or ethnicity may be an advantage in the tight race against Trump.

With the election increasingly on a razor’s edge, both sides are grappling with critical issues that could sway a few thousand votes and ultimately determine the outcome.
