Vice President Kamala Harris has expressed unwavering confidence in the Biden campaign’s prospects for victory in the 2024 presidential election, regardless of the Republican Party’s nominee.
In a recent exclusive interview with ABC News, Harris discussed the administration’s stance on the upcoming election.
Vice President Harris’ confidence in Biden campaign
When asked about concerns regarding the GOP nominee, Harris firmly stated, “Well, let me just tell you this. No matter who the Republican nominee is, we’re winning. We’re winning.”
This statement reflects the administration’s confidence in their campaign strategy and the strength of their political base.
Chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce inquired if Harris considered former President Donald Trump a “foregone conclusion” as Biden’s opponent.
To this, Harris replied, “I don’t know, but look, if it is Donald Trump, we beat him before, and we’ll beat him again.” This response underlines the administration’s readiness to face Trump if he becomes the Republican nominee.

Trump makes early landslide victory in Iowa
The Fox News Decision Desk reported that Trump secured an early victory in the Iowa caucuses. He achieved this significant win just half an hour after the caucuses commenced across the Hawkeye State.
Trump’s rapid success in Iowa marked a crucial early triumph in his bid to reclaim the presidency.
Reacting to his victory, Trump told Fox News Digital’s Brooke Singman, “It really is an honor that, minutes after, they’ve announced I’ve won—against very credible competition — great competition, actually.”
Trump’s win in Iowa was the most significant margin in the history of the state’s Republican presidential caucuses, surpassing Sen. Bob Dole’s 12.8 percent winning margin in 1988.
Biden’s recognition of Trump as ‘clear front-runner’
Following Trump’s win, President Biden acknowledged him as the “clear front-runner on the other side at this point.”
Biden reinforced his perspective on the election, tweeting, “But here’s the thing: this election was always going to be you and me vs. extreme MAGA Republicans. It was true yesterday, and it’ll be true tomorrow.”
Vice President Harris has consistently maintained that Biden would prevail over Trump in a potential rematch.
In a conversation with CBS’ Bill Whitaker in late October, Harris was asked why they were not significantly ahead of Trump in polls.
