presidential campaigns should devote more resources to activating the base or persuading the undecided. For congressional candidates who are challenging the majority party, however, prioritizing persuasion is a must. At the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, I sat down with two House candidates running to unseat freshmen Republicans to ask: What does it take a turn a red district blue? One of them I’ve known for many years through New York politics: John Avlon, the former CNN host running against Representative Nick LaLota on Long Island. The other, Rachel Bohman, is taking on Representative Brad Finstad in a district that’s been thrust into the national spotlight: Tim Walz’s old seat in southern Minnesota.

Kamala Harris' campaign saw a huge surge in financial support during August, raising over $300 million. This amount more than doubled the funds collected by former president Donald Trump’s campaign, which raised $130 million in the same period. While Trump’s team was initially confident after Joe Biden withdrew from the race, Harris’ entry into the competition has drastically shifted the financial momentum in her favor. Since Harris joined the race on July 21, her team has raised over $540 million, surpassing the fundraising efforts of the Republicans, as per the reports of Daily Mail.

On a three-month annualized basis, the Federal Reserve’s preferred measure of underlying US inflation advanced 1.7% in July, the slowest this year. In Europe, consumer prices rose 2.2% in August from a year ago — the tamest since mid-2021 and significantly lower than the 2.6% pace a month earlier. Meantime, inflation in Tokyo — a leading indicator of the national data due in September — picked up speed in August, supporting the case for the Bank of Japan to continue raising rates at a gradual pace as the bank balances the need to support the economy.

Kamala Harris is aiming to make history as America's first Black and South Asian woman president — but she has not leaned into the prospect. Instead, Harris has steered well clear of mentioning race and gender during speeches, rallies and the first press conference of her lightning campaign. The 59-year-old Democrat has also refused to engage with Republican rival Donald Trump and his allies when they have tried to bait her by questioning her racial identity and making sexist attacks.

Republican Donald Trump has fallen behind Democrat Kamala Harris, 48%–43%. The results show an eight-point shift in the presidential contest from late June when Trump had an almost four-point lead over President Joe Biden in the poll. Significant changes in some important demographic groups that have historically been critical for Democrats, such as young people and Hispanic and Black voters, contributed to the vice president's slim lead. The largest shift has been that, among those earning less than $20,000 annually, a three-point lead for Trump over Biden in June has grown to a 23-point lead for Harris over Trump in August.

Kamala Harris has gained momentum after the DNC, while Trump is actively campaigning in key swing states. Ten weeks remain until November 5th, the election day. Vice President Harris is riding high on the energy and enthusiasm from last week's Democratic National Convention, the former president Trump is working at breakneck speed to slow her progress. This week, Trump will be running for office in three of the seven battleground states from coast to coast that will probably decide the outcome of the 2024 presidential election: Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. JD Vance of Ohio, his running mate, visits all three of the so-called ‘Blue Wall’ states. As part of his counterprogramming, Trump made stops in five important swing states during the Democratic convention last week in Chicago, and Vance also made rounds of the campaign trail. This week, the vice president and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, begin a two-day bus tour in Georgia, a vital battleground in the Southeast. Until Election Day, the campaign trail is expected to remain gridlocked until further notice. Also Read: Steve Harvey biopic: Who will play the character of the comedian? All about it

Perhaps at the Democratic National Convention, there was an unexpected guest. Following several convention attendees' positive COVID-19 respiratory illness tests last week in Chicago, health officials are worried about a spike in infections. People also disclosed their diagnoses on social media. Several online users who voiced concerns regarding the possible COVID-19 outbreak during the conference had social media profile pictures of themselves wearing masks. The extent of the virus's spread during the four-day party event in Chicago last week is currently unknown. For the convention, tens of thousands of people gathered in the Windy City. The United Center, the location of the major speeches, can hold roughly 20,000 people, although a precise head count was not immediately available, as quoted in a report by The New York Post.

Joe Biden framed voters' choice in November in dark and ominous terms, painting Republican nominee Donald Trump as a menace to American democracy and questioning whether the country could survive if he won. The Democratic Party's new nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, isn't exactly shrinking from that message, warning in her Thursday night acceptance speech of «extremely serious» consequences of Trump returning to the White House. But Harris is putting her own spin on what has been a central messaging strategy for Democrats. Rather than focusing on the existential threat a second Trump term could pose to the country's foundational institutions and traditions, she is expanding Democrats' definition of what's at stake in this election: It's about preserving personal freedoms.
