On August 22, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris received positive news from the black voter bloc, as the latest poll results showed that African-American voters supported her more than Republican candidate Donald Trump.
According to a VNA correspondent in New York, the results of a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center from August 5-11 showed that registered black voters supporting Vice President Harris overwhelmed the rate of black voters supporting former President Donald Trump and independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Specifically, up to 77% of black voters surveyed said they would vote or were inclined to support Ms. Harris, while the rates for Mr. Trump and Mr. Kennedy were 13% and 7%, respectively. It is expected that candidate Kennedy will soon officially announce his withdrawal from the election campaign.
The results further show that the Democratic Party is gaining more support from voters of color.
In early July, the support rate of this group of voters for President Joe Biden was more than 60%. In addition, the rate of black voters with degrees and young people supporting Ms. Harris also increased sharply compared to the time before she became the Democratic presidential candidate, with a rate of 84% in August compared to 74% in May.

On the morning of August 21 (Vietnam time), Vice President Harris was officially approved as the Democratic Party’s candidate in the presidential election in November. The vote took place at the United Center Indoor Sports Center within the framework of the Democratic National Convention.
This 59-year-old female politician is the first woman of color to be selected as the presidential candidate of a major party in the US. She became the representative of the Democratic Party after President Biden announced his withdrawal from the election on July 21.
In a report sent to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on August 20, the fundraising group for Ms. Harris announced that it had raised an additional $204 million in July. Meanwhile, this amount for Mr. Trump was $48 million.
Including allied committees, Harris’s campaign raised a total of $310 million last month, while Trump’s campaign and allied committees raised $138 million.
According to Harris’s aides, the bulk of the money raised by the campaign and its committees came in late July, after President Joe Biden announced he was ending his campaign and endorsing his running mate as the Democratic nominee on July 21.
More than $60 million was raised in the first three days after Harris entered the race.
FEC filings show that Harris’s campaign also spent more than Trump’s in the past month — $81 million compared to $24 million.
