Mitch McCann: US Correspondent on Kamala Harris pulling ahead of Donald Trump in the polls

Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The polls are pointed in Kamala Harris’ favour.

The Democratic candidate has taken an eight-point lead over the Republican’s Donald Trump, and with the addition of third-party candidates, Harris is leading 50% to Trump’s 42%.

This is a significant change from a few months ago, where Joe Biden was trailing a few points behind Donald Trump.

US Correspondent Mitch McCann told Heather du Plessis-Allan that the lead is likely a bit of a honeymoon phase at the moment, but the polls show it will be an incredibly close race.

He said she’s gaining momentum, and not just with public opinion, as her fundraising has been astronomical.
