New Democratic frontrunner is polling behind the former president — for now
US vice-president Kamala Harris has now secured enough delegates to replace Joe Biden as the Democratic party’s presidential candidate against Donald Trump in this year’s election.
The question is how she would fare against Trump in November’s election.
A poll on Monday by Morning Consult, the first to be carried out since Biden dropped out of the race, gave Trump a two-point lead over Harris, at 47 per cent to 45 per cent. It was down sharply from the six-point advantage the former president enjoyed over the 81-year-old incumbent.
