As Pelosi endorses Kamala Harris and no challengers emerge, the race to define her continues.

As the Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris appears unbeatable, with no opponents challenging her, but a contentious battle over her definition will not be easily resolved.

The vice president, who has been a prominent figure for nearly four years, is now facing intense scrutiny from a presidential nominee with only a month left before her party's convention. Despite having Joe Biden's endorsement, she faces a challenging battle against Donald Trump, who has just had a successful convention and survived an assassination attempt.

The narrative about Kamala: She has an unusual laugh, an unconventional speaking style, and a foreign-sounding name that some Republicans mispronounce, like "Democrat Party."

From San Francisco, she is a far-left ideologue who portrays Biden as a moderate.

Harris bears responsibility for the failures of the Biden administration, particularly at the border, where she was given the role of responsibility. Additionally, she is accountable for the increase in inflation.

She aided in concealing the president's deteriorating mental health and physical condition from the public.

In 2020, Harris's campaign was a failure as she did not perform well enough to make it to Iowa, which is a clear indication of her political incompetence.

The Harris narrative: She is a former prosecutor taking on a crook.

Kamala Harris is a fighter against fraudsters and criminals, while Donald Trump is a convicted felon.

The main problem lies with Trump, who poses a threat to democracy, is driven by personal resentment, and could bring back the era of perpetual turmoil if he were to return to the presidency.

Trump, at 78, could potentially become the oldest president in history, according to some Democrats.

Trump's plan for securing the border involved cruelly separating children from their families.

The former president has boasted about his relationship with Vladimir Putin and admires authoritarian leaders such as Kim Jong-un and Viktor Orban, while also considering pulling out of NATO and abandoning Ukraine.

Harris has consistently been underestimated in her rise to the top of California politics

Kamala Harris is somewhat unusual, yet that adds to her intrigue.

During the last campaign, she endorsed Medicare for All and is definitely to the left of Biden.

Harris did run a lousy campaign last time.

Although the rate of inflation has decreased, individuals do not recognize it, which negatively impacts the economy, particularly under the Biden administration.

Despite her improved performance, Harris' past "word salad" answers may still be remembered by the public.

The question of whether she concealed Biden's health issues from the public is certainly valid and accurate, but she can simply claim she was being a loyalist.

Trump is unlikely to leave NATO and may seek a rapid resolution that would enable Russia to retain control over a portion of Ukraine. He rarely criticizes Putin.

Despite being convicted in the Stormy Daniels case, he has successfully portrayed all four indictments as the administration's weaponization of law enforcement, which only increased his poll numbers.

Yesterday, Harris visited Wilmington to express gratitude to the campaign team, but Biden's rambling comments were uncalled for.

The vice president linked her pursuit of Trump to her background as a prosecutor.

Harris stated that she tackled predators who mistreated women, and "Donald Trump was convicted of sexual misconduct."

"While Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of fraud, I took on the big banks."

She also made an effort to outline a plan. "My presidency will focus on increasing the middle class," Trump stated, while he signed off on "massive tax cuts for big businesses." "We won't go back," he declared. She emphasized the importance of voting and safety from gun violence.

But Harris said some things that were either exaggerations or simply not true.

She claimed that Trump planned to cut Social Security and Medicare, while he had previously stated in 2015 interviews that he would safeguard those programs.

She claimed that Trump would enact a nationwide abortion ban, but he has denied this and stated that the Dobbs ruling should allow states to decide on their own.

Yesterday, Nancy Pelosi, who is responsible for the leak campaign that led Biden to step aside, endorsed Harris, and the president is still angry with the former speaker.

Yesterday, Joe Manchin stated that he will not enter the race, while Gretchen Whitmer announced that she will be a co-chair of the Harris campaign.

Both Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, who are both Jewish, endorsed the VP.

Who can challenge her now? Democrats would risk their careers if they were to challenge the first black woman and first of Asian-American descent, given the potential racial and sexist backlash. The saying in politics is that you can't beat someone with no one.

The focus has shifted to the selection of Kamala's running mate, with Gavin Newsom being ruled out due to their shared state. Choosing Whitmer would mean an all-female ticket, but she has stated that she does not want to be vice president.

Trump has stated that people typically vote for the top of the ticket, and having a strong No. 2 from Michigan, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin doesn't necessarily guarantee a win in those crucial states. Harris will be in Milwaukee today.

A mere taste of the coming media environment comes from Axios:

Harris' vice presidency has been marked by significant staff turnover, with only five of her 47 staff members remaining as of this spring.

"High staff turnover in the Vice President's office is partly due to how the Vice President treats her staff, according to former Harris aides."

Harris is likely to boost excitement among black voters who had previously supported Biden and among independent women who are hesitant about Trump. Her campaign claims she raised $81 million online in the first day after the announcement.

Biden performs similarly to Harris when compared to Trump, who remains a formidable contender.

If Biden is unfit to campaign for reelection, he shouldn't be in charge of nuclear weapons and should resign, giving Harris a four-month head start as president.

Trump proposes shifting the September debate with Biden on ABC to a Kamala debate on Planet Chronicle, which seems unlikely. However, it's possible that the VP doesn't see any advantage in debating Trump.

Yesterday, Harris' first event since the announcement was filling in for the Covid-stricken president at the annual honoring of collegiate sports champions. She praised Biden's record of accomplishment during the official event.

Soon, her team recognized that the reintroduction to America wasn't sufficient and scheduled a Wilmington visit.

Kamala should not appear with Biden at all, except at the convention, as he is very unpopular. She must establish her own identity in the next 105 days to break free from his shadow. Regardless of how much she loves him, she is now the top of the ticket and must stop deferring to him.

Between 2011 and 2013, when she was state attorney general, USA Today reports that Donald Trump donated $6,000 to Kamala Harris. Trump stated in 2016, "I’ve given to Democrats. I’ve given to Hillary. I’ve given to everybody! Because that was my job." This statement is accurate.
