Harris Rises: Weibo Users Weigh in on Trump's Toughest Challenger Yet

The controversy began when Trump's campaign team filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, alleging that Harris cannot inherit Biden's $960 million campaign funds. This move was seen as an escalation of the rivalry between Trump and Harris, with the latter firing back on July 23 at a campaign event in Wisconsin, calling Trump a "chaos-maker from the past".

Weibo users are divided on who has the upper hand in the election. Some believe that Harris's first campaign appearance was "full of energy", while others think that Trump's team has been effective in using scornful tactics, labeling Harris and Biden as "jokes". A user joked that if Biden were to suddenly drop out, Harris could become the first female President of the United States without even needing an election.

Harris's first campaign ad has been making waves, with a theme of asking Americans what kind of country they want to live in. The ad features a subtle dig at Trump, flashing images of him when talking about no one being above the law. A Weibo user commented that Harris's support rate is catching up with Trump's, with a recent poll by The New York Times and Siena College showing the margin between the two narrowing to just 1 percentage point.

The poll also found that Harris has unified the Democratic Party, with 70% of Democratic voters indicating they want to quickly rally behind Harris rather than engage in internal conflicts. Harris enjoys 93% support within the Democratic Party, which is on par with Trump's support from Republicans. However, some Democrats worry that Harris may not be able to hold onto the advantage among older voters, a demographic where Biden had a strong lead.

The election has garnered increasing attention from voters, with a survey showing that 64% of voters are now very interested in the presidential election, up from 48% in June.

Weibo users are also discussing the implications of the election on China-US relations. One user opined that regardless of who wins, the attitude towards China will not change. Another user shared a video from CNN, highlighting the narrowing gap between Harris and Trump in the polls.

As the election heats up, Weibo is abuzz with speculation and analysis. One user asked, "Who do you think has a better chance of winning, #Harris or #Trump?" The debate is far from over, and Weibo users will continue to weigh in on this pivotal election.
