The candidacy of Harris, who was officially nominated at the convention but had already been accepted by Joe Biden on July 21, has created momentum that has brought Donald Trump on the defensive while he struggles to keep the media’s attention on him.
Harris and vice-presidential candidate Tim Walsh are kicking off their campaign for the White House this week on a bus tour of Georgia, seeking to drum up support in a swing state in the Nov. 5 election.
