If only for questions of financing since the budget planned for Joe Biden's campaign could be transferred to à his running mate, a point which is already being made debate and which the Republicans could try to counter in court. This rapid financial contribution would be a significant advantage because this would not be the case for another candidate, the American press recalled in recent days.
Kamala Harris raised $81 million to fund her campaign between July 21 and 23. This amount only includes small donors, according to her team, who said it was the largest fundraising effort by a candidate in such a short time in American history.
Another asset is the support she has within the party, particularly from its big names like Barack Obama and the Clintons, Bill and Hillary. Their popularity and their possible commitment to her with a displayed support appear to be significant advantages when launching an express campaign.
Her age and her background as many assets

Her energy but also her youth could end up seducing the Democratic camp. At 59 years old, the possible candidacy of Kamala Harris would send us into oblivion the announced duel between the two Biden-Trump seniors, both over 80 years old. Enough to further mobilize the Democratic electorate ? In polls published in recent days while a possible withdrawal of Joe Biden made it ;eacute;jà the headlines, in the event of a duel between Trump and Kamala Harris, the gap was only two points in favor of the Republican candidate. An insufficient margin for Trump before possible debates and speeches by his possible future adversary.
