After 81-year-old President Joe Biden's decision to withdraw from the re-election race due to his criticism of Donald Trump in the first debate in late June, the Democratic Party began to look at Kamala Harris's candidacy with optimism.

The current figures are a cause for enthusiasm for the Harris team.

According to polls released on Sunday by The New York Times and Siena College, the vice president of the United States is leading in polls in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan, three of the six key states for the November 5 election. However, despite the “unprecedented enthusiasm” displayed in the Democratic campaign, this advantage is being treated with caution.
