JAKARTA - Republican Party presidential candidate Donald Trump only observed from the audience when United States (S) Vice President Kamala Harris encouraged the Democratic Party by becoming a presidential candidate.
Trump will hold his first campaign since Harris emerged as his opponent from Democrats in the 2024 election. The former president will appear at an event in Charlotte, North Carolina, the state that will become an important battleground in the November 5 elections.
Trump's campaign team insists they are ready to face Harris' candidacy. Kamala Harris, as Vice President Joe Biden in terms of economic and immigration policies, is considered to have contributed to Harris' declining popularity among voters.
The Reuters-Ipsos poll, released on Tuesday, July 23, shows the newly re-regulated competition is in very poor condition statistically.
The poll, which was taken in the two days since Biden decided to withdraw from the election, shows Harris are two percentage points ahead of Trump, which is 44 percent compared to 42 percent. Another national poll recently showed Trump ahead.
Biden, who returned to Washington after being isolated at his home in Delaware due to COVID, will address in public from the Oval Room on Wednesday, July 24 evening to explain why he resigned from his candidacy on Sunday after strong pressure from his party.
A person familiar with the matter said Biden's speech was made late Tuesday when Biden returned to the White House after his recovery period at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, in which he ended his attempts to be re-elected with a letter posted to social media.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Trump took unusual steps by speaking to reporters by phone call to underscore his campaign attacks on the border.

Biden assigned Harris to work with countries in Central America to help stem the wave of migration, but Harris is not responsible for border security.
"He is a radical left-wing man, and this country does not want radical left-wingers to destroy it," Trump said by telephone.
"He wants the border to open up. He wants things that no one wants," he said.
