5 ways the 2024 race has changed with Harris replacing Biden on the Democratic ticket

ATLANTA (AP) — Over the last month, much has changed about the 2024 presidential election in the United States.

Now that President Joe Biden is out of the race and Vice President Kamala Harris is in, former President Donald Trump is having to pivot his campaign to a new challenger.

Here are five ways the race is different with fewer than 100 days to go before Election Day.

Trump is the oldest nominee in the race

Trump had honed his attacks on the 81-year-old Biden, with his campaign and Republican allies frequently calling attention to the Democratic president’s physical and verbal stumbles. While many voters were similarly concerned about Trump’s readiness, polls suggested more Americans questioned Biden.

Now, the 78-year-old Trump is running against a 59-year-old candidate. And that turns the age question more on him.

The Democrats now have enthusiasm and more funding

Harris has generated massive enthusiasm and money that Biden could not generate. Her supporters are organizing Zoom calls and raising millions of dollars at a time, the latest being a White Dudes for Harris call that generated $3.7 million for her campaign.

The question is how does she turn that into votes. Can Democrats leverage all of that enthusiasm when they’re organizing efforts and turning out voters?
