东谈西论

美国民主党一连四天的全国代表大会在当地时间8月22日落下帷幕。美国副总统哈里斯在五万名现场观众的欢呼声中，正式接受民主党提名，竞选美国总统。

在7月21日美国总统拜登宣布退选之前，哈里斯原本被认为是表现不佳的副总统。但她却在短短一个月内声势大涨，不但筹得创纪录的5亿4000万美元（约7亿新元）资金，她的民调支持率也迅速追平特朗普，重新点燃了民主党胜选的希望。

如果当选，哈里斯将成为美国历史上首位女性总统和首位有亚裔血统的总统。她的选举路上将会面临哪些挑战？她有机会打败特朗普吗？她是否有能力治国？

这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红和上海东亚研究所副所长包承柯解析哈里斯在竞选美国总统路上可能面临的挑战。

The recent Democratic National Convention marked a significant milestone for Vice President Kamala Harris as she accepted the nomination to run for President of the United States. This historic moment was met with enthusiasm, setting the stage for a potentially transformative election.

Harris, once perceived as an underperforming Vice President, has seen a remarkable turnaround in just one month. She has raised an unprecedented US$540 million (S$702.2 million) in campaign funds, signalling a strong wave of support and rekindling the Democratic Party's hopes for victory.

If elected, Harris would break multiple barriers as the first female President and the first President of Asian descent. Her candidacy brings forth numerous questions about the challenges she will face and the policies she intends to implement. The path to the presidency is fraught with obstacles, and her ability to govern effectively will be under intense scrutiny.

In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yong Hong invites Bao Chengke, assistant director at the Institute for East Asian Studies in Shanghai to examine Harris‘ challenges ahead, and unpack what a Harris presidency could mean for the United States and the world.
