2024 U.S. presidential election approaches, speculation is mounting over whether former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, might consider replacing his vice-presidential running mate, JD Vance. Trump hand-picked Vance in July, but a series of controversies surrounding the Ohio Senator has led to questions about whether Trump might opt for a different running mate just weeks before the election, as mentioned in a report by USA Today.

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

Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, will sit down Thursday for their first major television interview of their presidential campaign as the duo travels in southeast Georgia on a bus tour. The interview with CNN's Dana Bash will give Harris a chance to quell criticism that she has eschewed uncontrolled environments, while also giving her a fresh platform to define her campaign and test her political mettle ahead of an upcoming debate with former President Donald Trump set for September 10. But it also carries risk as her team tries to build on momentum from the ticket shakeup following Joe Biden's exit and last week's Democratic National Convention. Joint interviews during an election year are a fixture in politics; Biden and Harris, Trump and Mike Pence, Barack Obama and Biden — all did them at a similar point in the race. The difference is those other candidates had all done solo interviews, too. Harris hasn't yet done an in-depth interview since she became her party's standard bearer five weeks ago, though she did sit for several while she was still Biden's running mate.

Donald Trump's election campaign took a jibe at Vice-President Kamala Harris ahead of her first joint interview with Tim Walz, her running mate, and said that she is scared to interview on her own. Notably, Harris agreed to a joint interview with Walz, who is her running mate for the elections, The Hill reported. Harris and Minnesota Governor Walz will participate in their first joint interview with CNN on Thursday. CNN's Dana Bash will conduct the interview, which is set to air at 9 pm EDT. Sharing a post on X, the Trump War Room said, «It's no coincidence that Kamala's first interview is scheduled for the Thursday night before Labor Day weekend. They already hope it gets lost — and it hasn't even aired yet.»

Harris and running mate Tim Walz will campaign by bus in southwestern Pennsylvania on Sunday, hoping to ride the wave of enthusiasm her candidacy has brought to the presidential race to their party's nominating convention in Chicago this week. Vice President Harris and Walz, the governor of Minnesota, will be joined by their spouses, Doug Emhoff and Gwen Walz, as they get on and off the bus in the Pittsburgh area to glad-hand with voters. Harris and Emhoff were scheduled to deliver remarks at an event in the borough of Rochester, in Beaver County, which Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, won in 2020, though he lost the general election to Democrat Joe Biden. Southwestern Pennsylvania is a critical part of a key battleground state that has long commanded the attention of presidential candidates. The state voted for the Republican presidential candidate in 2016 and for the Democratic candidate in 2020. Both Harris and Trump are vying to see who can put Pennsylvania in their column on Nov. 5.

Donald Trump not accept the verdict of the US Presidential Election 2024 if he loses it? Quoting unnamed Trump critics, CNN has reported that the Republican candidate could be laying the groundwork to question the outcome of the 2024 election if he loses a second time. The former president continues to describe Kamala Harris's elevation to her party's top ticket as “unconstitutional”. She has also accused her of taking part in a “coup” and he may claim that her candidature itself is unconstitutional and she has no locus standi to claim the top office.
