Increase in Support for Harris: Democrats Show Enthusiasm

US Vice President Kamala Harris managed to raise an impressive $200 million in her first week as a presidential candidate for the 2024 elections. This underscores the enthusiasm of Democrats for their new, presumptive nominee. According to an ABC News poll from Sunday, Harris' approval rating rose from 35% to 43% in just one week. Americans are showing more enthusiasm for her candidacy than for that of former President Donald Trump. Harris' sudden fundraising success also serves as a response to the Republican campaign, which had previously seen Trump leading in the financial race. Simultaneously, Harris is intensifying her search for a suitable vice-presidential candidate and has narrowed her selection to three possible candidates. According to insiders, these developments send a strong signal for the upcoming elections, particularly in light of current geopolitical tensions, where the US has reaffirmed its defense commitments to Japan and South Korea. In this context, Asian stock markets are also showing optimism.
