Can Kamala Harris Defeat Donald Trump?
Does the Vice President have what it takes to step in?

Following his disastrous debate against former President Trump the questions whether he is fit for another four years of office have only mounted, and any attempt by his campaign to quell those concerns have not worked. An increasing number of people not just with organizations like CNN or The New York Times have called for the suspension of his campaign, and even some Democratic members of congress have weighed in as well.

Vice President Kamala Harris?

“…A Reuters/Ipsos poll after last week’s televised debate between Trump and a faltering Biden found Harris and Trump were nearly tied, with 42% supporting her and 43% backing him.
Only former first lady…
