In the span of just two days Vice President Harris consolidated support within the Democratic Party and is well on her way to securing the Democratic nomination. In this installment of the 538 Politics podcast, Galen speaks with Mary Radcliffe and Geoffrey Skelley about what has changed and what hasn’t in the newly reshaped 2024 presidential race.

Harris won’t have the same challenges Biden faced when it came to perceptions of his age and already it appears some young voters and voters of color have swung in her direction. But, similar to Biden, voters largely view Harris as more liberal than they’d like on policy.

    ABC does not know what todo with 538.
  • Zoom fundraising event called "White Women: Answer the Call" witnessed record-breaking participation by the supporters of US Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday night where 164,000 participants. raised over 2 million USD for the presumptive Democratic candidate in the upcoming electoral battle under 90 minutes. This was the third massive Zoom call for Harris. The previous fundraising events by Zoom welcomed 44,000 Black women and 50,000 Black men and raised 1.5 million USD and 1.3 million USD, respectively.

    It’s absurd for people to think immigration is more important than climate but I personally am constantly angry that so few people care about that very critical existential issue. It’s “existential” because of how much it threatens our very existence
  • You should do video so hearing disabled people can tell who's talking.

    10:49 Who in the world is viewing Biden as "very liberal?" He's bare minimum from my perspective. If what the Biden administration is doing is too "liberal" and too "far left," it's genuinely over for this country. Period.

    You can use the ever-ready asterisk now even though Harris has not been formally elected. Geez....

    Wasn’t she in charge specifically of working with Latin American countries to minimize the need for immigration

    Off-topic, but four unskippable ads in the first 10 minutes of a YouTube video?
  • What are you? A CHILDLESS CAT LADY?!? That’s all I could think at that opening. 🤭

    3:47 "We don't like to publish averages/models before the nominees are certain." You literally had a Trump v. Biden model.
