In a post-debate surge, Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has raised $47 million in just 24 hours, signaling a massive wave of support. With a 47% to 42% lead over former President Donald Trump in a two-day Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed Thursday, Harris is capitalizing on her momentum, challenging Trump to a second debate and rallying supporters in key battleground states.

Harris’ “New Way Forward” tour has seen massive turnouts in North Carolina, with over 17,000 people attending her Greensboro event. The state, where Trump has heavily invested, is now a critical battleground. With a 0.4 percentage point lead, Harris is pushing for increased voter turnout among young, Black, and female voters to secure victory in the Tar Heel State.

Today, Harris is in Pennsylvania, another pivotal state, as she continues to expand her electorate. Meanwhile, Trump has dismissed the idea of another debate, claiming victory in the first, while Harris insists that voters deserve another chance to hear from both candidates.
