How Texas voters feel about Kamala Harris

Kamala Harris is considered the front-runner to be the Democratic Party's presidential nominee after President Biden dropped out of the race on Sunday.

Polling shows the switch between the two candidates may not make much of a difference in Texas.

A University of Texas - Texas Politics Project poll from June 2024 shows that 51 percent of Texas voters have an unfavorable view of the vice president, compared to 53 percent who view President Biden unfavorably.

The June poll also showed a 10-point gap (81 to 71) in the percentage of Democrats who had a favorable view of Joe Biden vs. Kamala Harris.

The poll does show that more Hispanic voters had an unfavorable view of President Biden than the vice president.

A number of Texas Democrats have thrown their support behind Vice President Harris, including Rep. Marc Veasey (D-Fort Worth) and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Dallas).

FOX 4 spoke to voters in Downtown Dallas about Biden's decision to end his campaign.

"I think it was a good choice, I don't think he was going to win," said Imnanuel Edouard.

"He should have three and a half years ago," said another voter.

"I've already made up my mind, but I don't feel like [Harris] can handle it," said Heater Scott.

The Democratic nominee will be confirmed at the party's convention next month.

The DNC could have delegates meet virtually before the convention to formally nominate Harris.

If that does not happen, she would have to win the nomination on the floor.

"Joe Biden's delegates are free to vote for who they want. He cannot instruct them to vote for any other person," said Matthew Wilson, a political scientist at SMU.

The Democratic National Convention will be held in Chicago from August 19 to 22.
