Vice President Kamala Harris has expressed her apprehension about the possibility of former President Donald Trump securing another term in office. She has vowed to lead an aggressive campaign to prevent this from happening.
What Happened: Harris, during her appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Wednesday, shared her concerns about the potential of Trump being re-elected, reported the Associated Press.
She stated, “I am scared as heck! Which is why I'm traveling our country.”
Harris also mentioned that this fear should serve as a motivation for the upcoming campaign. She emphasized the need to earn re-election and stated that the administration must be on the road.
The Vice President is set to commence a series of events in Wisconsin, a crucial battleground state, focusing on abortion. These events are scheduled to begin on Monday, which marks the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that upheld the right to an abortion.

When questioned about Biden’s performance in comparison to his predecessor, Harris suggested that voters are now beginning to focus on what this election will mean. She described the choice as “competence versus chaos” and a battle for the future of American democracy.
Why It Matters: Harris’ concerns about Trump’s potential re-election come amid a shifting political landscape. Trump’s recent victory in the Iowa caucus has raised questions about his performance in the upcoming general elections, with some experts suggesting potential struggles in a larger electoral landscape.
Despite this, national polls of registered voters continue to show a close hypothetical race for the 2024 election between Trump and President Joe Biden, the frontrunners for the Republican and Democratic parties, respectively.
