Kamala Harris brings in ‘aggressive’ new tactics against Donald Trump for the final stretch of the 2024 presidential campaign

Vice President Kamala Harris is riding the wave of the presidential debate and is now entering a new, aggressive phase of her campaign against Donald Trump. The campaign hopes to use this momentum to its advantage in the final phase.

The Democratic presidential candidate will campaign in two crucial states after the debate that will determine the outcome of the election.

On Thursday, the vice president heads to Charlotte and Greensboro, North Carolina, for back-to-back rallies. On Friday, she has stops in central Pennsylvania.

Following the debate, just over 50 days before the election, the vice president’s new “aggressive phase” will also include new ads featuring key moments from the debate in which she took aim at rival Donald Trump.

The campaign said Harris will give even more media interviews, as she has been criticized for not giving in-depth interviews or holding press conferences since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee.

At the same time, vice presidential deputies are spreading across the country this week.

Harris’ campaign comes as Trump heads west, closing out the week with visits to the pivotal states of Arizona and Nevada and a press conference in Los Angeles.

Polls show the race extremely tight going into the final stretch. But the majority of viewers who watched Tuesday night’s debate believe Harris won.

The campaign is calling the push the “New Way Forward Tour,” which includes “boosts,” campaign stops and advertising.

Harris’ campaign spent the day Wednesday combing through campaign images in search of key moments to use in new ads coming out in the coming days that target key voters in states where the election remains uncertain.

The first ad featuring debate footage, titled “Leadership,” dropped Wednesday night. The ad shows Harris touting a “new generation of leadership” while also showing Trump trashing the U.S. and saying the nation is “dying.”

It’s part of the $370 million the campaign spent between Labor Day and Election Day.

As for her increased media appearances, the vice president will focus primarily on reaching voters in key states and key members of the Democratic coalition.

Harris will be doing interviews with local state media in the coming days. She is also expected to participate in a discussion with journalists from the National Association of Black Journalists next week.

While Harris travels to North Carolina and Pennsylvania, key campaign officials are traveling across the country.

Running mate Tim Walz heads to Michigan on Thursday and Friday and Wisconsin on Saturday. He’s also ramping up his media appearances, which began with a series of solo interviews following Tuesday’s debate.

Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff is on the road to Arizona and Nevada, while Gwen Walz campaigns in Manchester, New Hampshire on Thursday and Maine on Friday.

Several experts weighing in on the presidential debate in Philadelphia on Tuesday night told DailyMail.com that the vice president performed excellently and won.

Exclusive polls for DailyMail.com showed that more viewers agreed that Harris had won. Some 49 percent said Harris had done the best job, while 43 percent said Trump was the best.

Voters who supported the vice president celebrated her performance at the debate as they lined up to attend her rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Thursday.

Jourdan Gore, 34, of Winston Salem, thought Harris did a great job in the debate.

“What struck me the most is how prepared and polished women have to be to be in the same spaces as men, without any preparation,” Gore said.

“That’s what it looks like for women to be in these spaces, especially women of color. We have to be 10 times better, smarter, faster to even have a seat at the table,” she said.

Supporters said Harris had notable moments during the debate, such as when he spoke about abortion rights.

“I clapped when she talked about abortion and told him there was a girl in the car bleeding. They care about not having rights over their bodies,” Carol Injaychock said.

Independent voter JG Riviere of Charlotte has historically voted for members of both parties, but in the Trump era he leans Democratic.

“For me, the rule of law is of paramount importance and I think with Kamala Harris we will have a president who not only understands the Constitution but defends it,” he said.

“I thought Kamala Harris performed better than I thought she could,” Riviere said of her performance in the debate. “I saw a commander in chief. I saw someone who is willing to work for the American people,

His bold prediction about his state: “This year it will be blue.”

DailyMail.com’s modeling shows the state leaning slightly toward Trump. He won North Carolina in both 2016 and 2020, but Democrats believe they can flip the state.

The former president defeated Biden by less than 1.5 points. Several polls in recent weeks have shown the vice president with a slight lead, but within the margin of error.
