Kamala Harris experienced following her nomination convention, less than two weeks ago, when they believed that she would be linked to President Joe Biden's potentially disastrous reelection campaign. She has given hope to Democrats who had lost hope and revitalized a party that was about to lose hope. But the sobering truth is that success is far from certain. It is not likely that Harris will be able to defeat former President Donald Trump with the swing voters that the thousands of ecstatic delegates in the hall this week represented. Numerous presidential candidates throughout history have stirred their supporters during conventions but ultimately failed in November. Trump is no pushover, whatever else he may be. The next two and a half months will be brutal for Harris. Also Read: Not UPenn or Georgetown, Barron Trump is heading to New York for college this fall

Kamala Harris's closing remarks during the Democratic National Convention last night had little effect on attendees' intentions to vote. But there might be a change in the presidential contest now that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is apparently withdrawing later today. According to FiveThirtyEight's most recent average of national polls, Harris leads Trump by 3.5 points. National polls have shown Harris to be slightly ahead of Trump on average, but the race is still close with swing states. According to the most recent national survey conducted by Outward Intelligence from August 18 to 22, Harris has not yet experienced any favorable boost following this week's DNC. Harris continues to lead Trump by +6 points in this poll, with 49.5 percent of the vote. But nothing has changed from the same poll conducted last week. According to the polls, both Trump and Harris would gain ground in a straight-up contest; however, Trump would narrow Harris's lead, with 48 percent to the vice president's 52 percent.

The poll conducted has an error margin of one percentage point, with a plus-or-minus. Also Read: For the first time King Charles says he lost his sense of taste amid his cancer treatment

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.

Kennedy cited free speech, the war in Ukraine and «a war on our children» as among the reasons he would try to remove his name from the ballot in battleground states. «These are the principal causes that persuaded me to leave the Democratic Party and run as an independent, and now to throw my support to President Trump,» Kennedy said.

diamond discovered in more than a century has been unearthed in Botswana, marking a historic discovery. The stunning 2,492 carat diamond was unveiled during a special ceremony presided over by Botswana's president. This stone, which is about the size of a fist and weighs about a pound, has attracted a lot of interest and enthusiasm, as per the reports of the New York Post. Initial estimates say the diamond may be worth over $40 million, but it is too early to confirm the actual value or complete the sale. The Canadian mining corporation Lucara, which found the diamond at its Karowe Mine, is the source of this information. Some industry insiders, though, think this assessment may be low. Renowned diamond expert Fred Cuellar likened the value of diamonds to that of real estate, where the amount depends on comparable sales in the recent past. Given that a smaller diamond from the same mine sold for $63 million in 2016, Cuellar estimated that the diamond's potential value ranged from $100 million to $160 million.
