Vance's campaign events come less than 24 hours after President Joe Biden announced his decision to bow out of the 2024 presidential race. The announcement has sent shockwaves through the Democratic Party, with Harris now the frontrunner for the nomination.

Hours after Biden's bombshell announcement, Harris addressed the White House, lauding the president's legacy and pledging to continue his fight for the American people.

Trump's camp has been preparing for Harris' potential candidacy for weeks, with sources telling Reuters that the GOP campaign has been closely monitoring the increasing calls from Democratic lawmakers and donors for Biden to step aside.

While Biden has not been seen publicly since his announcement, his campaign officials have been actively reaching out to delegates on Harris' behalf, urging them to support her nomination at next month's Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

Several prominent Democrats have already endorsed Harris, including Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, who expressed interest in potentially joining Harris on the ticket as her vice presidential running mate.

In a statement released after Biden's withdrawal, Harris declared her intention to "earn and win" the Democratic nomination and to unite the party and the nation to defeat Trump.

Harris' entry into the race has put Vance on the offensive. During a recent campaign rally, he called on Democrats to invoke the 25th Amendment, arguing that Biden's cognitive decline renders him unfit to serve.

Vance has also accused Harris of being a "radical leftist" who is out of touch with the values of most Americans.

The Trump-Vance ticket will face a formidable challenge from Harris and her potential running mate. The upcoming campaign promises to be fiercely contested, with both parties vying to energize their base and win over undecided voters.
