Vice President Kamala Harris is now the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party after accumulating the necessary delegates in the two days since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race. While her approval ratings are less than stellar, Republicans need to be careful not to underestimate her chances of winning in November.

After Biden’s historically disastrous debate performance last month, polls were showing that voters no longer believed he was fit for another four years. Biden had managed to make the election a referendum on himself rather than on former President Donald Trump. Now that he is out of the race, Democrats can focus on attacking Trump, if Harris allows it.
