Biden and Harris: Unity in the fight against Trump's landslide victory!

In an urgent appeal for unity and determination, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris put their political future into the spotlight after the turbulent presidential elections on November 5. During a joint event, Biden emphasized: "We are strong, we know what we stand for, and that's why we also know what we have to fight for." This was one of the few joint appearances of the two since Biden had resigned from the race in favor of Harris. The democrats are under the pressure of a heavy setback after Harris has lost all seven competitive states and the majority in the College of Election against Donald Trump, which led to internal conflicts, such as the Kleine Zeitung reported.

Financial battle of the election campaigns

The financial dimensions of the parties involved in the election campaign are huge, with an incredible $ 4.7 billion, which were issued solely in the presidential election. The Democrats, including Harris, collected around $ 2.9 billion, while the Republicans with Donald Trump had a total of $ 1.8 billion, such as the New York Times reported. Despite the higher sum, the Trump campaign and their associated groups were able to take a big lead for Super-Pacs with $ 1.2 billion and an additional $ 849 million for Super Pacs. Biden had signed a joint fundraising agreement early on with the Democratic National Committee, which helped the Democrat to acquire larger sums, especially after Harris took the lead in summer.

The uncertainty about the political future of Harris remains because some party colleagues encourage them to compete for the governor's office in California. Biden announced that even after his term of office, which ends on January 20, to remain active in order to overcome the deep division in the nation, which illustrates that the struggle of the Democrats is anything but over.
