  Harris Projected to Lose to Trump in 2024 Presidential Election In a surprising turn of events, Vice President Kamala Harris is projected to lose the 2024 presidential election to former President Donald Trump, dashing hopes for many Americans who had hoped to elect the first woman president. Harris, who became the first woman of color to secure a major party’s presidential nomination, faced an uphill battle after a truncated and unconventional campaign. With just over 100 days to make her case to voters, she went head-to-head against a well-established Trump, whose dominance within the Republican Party has been formidable. Her platform centered on promises to end the chaos and division she argued had plagued the country, focusing on creating a more inclusive economy, preserving reproductive rights, and strengthening the military to address global threats. As the race neared its end, Harris' campaign became increasingly focused on warning voters about the risks of a ...
