The election campaign takes Biden's running mate out of the ordinary. Harris's new role comes at a time when progressive Democrats are targeting Biden because of his pro-Israel stance.

A poll conducted by Reuters/Ipsos revealed that the majority of women and people under the age of 40 who are of Latin descent denounce Biden's performance as president. These groups chose Biden in 2020, which helped him defeat Trump. Harris urged Israel to make more efforts to alleviate what she called the "humanitarian catastrophe" in Gaza.
