President Biden’s short address from the Oval Office focused on his achievements and the plans for the rest of his term. It was his first speech since dropping his reelection bid.
Republican campaigning has been outstripping that of the presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris as her team gears up following Joe Biden’s departure from the race.
The Associated Press has reported, citing the media tracking firm AdImpact, that Donald Trump’s team and his allies have been outspending Harris 25-to-1 on TV and radio ads.
The Republicans have spent $68 million (€62.7 million) since Monday, the day after Biden ended his bid, while the Democrats have only spent $2.6 million.
While Harris’s team are undoubtedly preparing to boost spending, observers have pointed out that it shows the Republicans are attempting to define her as a candidate, and that she will need to act fast to counter their narratives.
