As President Joe Biden faces increasing doubts about his 2024 candidacy, Vice President Kamala Harris emerges as a potential successor, supported by key Democrats and donors. Harris, 59, could become the first woman president if she wins the nomination and the election. Despite early challenges in her vice presidency, Harris has recently stepped forward on issues like abortion rights and gained traction among young voters. Recent polls suggest Harris might have a better chance against Trump than Biden, with notable support from independents and moderates. However, she faces challenges in securing broad Democratic support and raising campaign funds.
