Who could be Harris' rivals in the presidential race?

US Vice President Kamala Harris is not the only option for the Democratic presidential candidate. Yesterday, the current US president, Joe Biden, announced his withdrawal from the election campaign and his candidacy and supported his vice president, Harris. The Democratic Party has to decide who will stand against Donald Trump.

▪️ The leading candidate is Harris, who has already confirmed that she is ready to participate in the presidential elections. Biden indicated that he supports her, and Clinton's spouses also made the statement. Democrats say many voters may be drawn to Harris because she is a woman and a member of an ethnic minority.

▪️Harris was supported by California Governor Gavin Newsom, who was considered one of the leading candidates for the presidential race until then.

▪️The likely candidate for nomination from the Democratic Party is the governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro. However, he is not well known outside his state.

▪️ Governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer can also join the fight. After being re-elected, Whitmer is already considered a possible candidate for the US presidency in 2022. Nevertheless, he announced then that he intended to serve a full term as governor.

▪️Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is Donald Trump's "Democrat" type. He owns the chain of "Hyatt" hotels, so he can independently finance his election campaign. At the same time, he is famous in the USA.

▪️The ideal Democratic candidate can be former first lady Michelle Obama. Many analysts call her "Trump's nightmare," and polls show her ahead of the Republican nominee. However, Obama never engaged in real politics. She has already announced that she does not intend to run for the position of president, but her supporters have not lost hope yet.
