Title Continued support in security and continued scepticism of globalisation: What Kamala Harris’ nomination might mean for the EU Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet Studio Europa Maastricht Media type Online Country/Territory Netherlands Date 29/07/24 Description Over the last few weeks, the world has been holding its breath watching the unfolding drama of the US presidential race, which led to President Joe Biden withdrawing his candidacy and endorsing his Vice President Kamala Harris. As recent poll conducted by the New York Times shows that Harris has narrowed the gap that was growing between Biden and the Republican candidate Trump, with 47% of Americans saying they would vote for her if the elections were held today, experts are making predictions on whether that’s good news for Europe. While publicly, officials in Brussels welcomed Biden’s decision, there were also some sceptical comments referring to Harris as being “invisible” on the foreign policy front and not a strong enough candidate to be the ally the EU needs amid the large-scale war on the continent. Studio Europa Maastricht spoke to Dr Roberta Haar, Professor of Foreign Policy Analysis & Transatlantic Relations at Maastricht University, about the potential impact of Harris’ nomination on Washington’s relations with the EU.
