The 2024 presidential election is less than four months away, and the campaigns for the two major parties are taking shape.

Vice President Kamala Harris is seeking the Democratic nomination for president, and former President Donald Trump has accepted the Republican nomination.

On Tuesday’s edition of “Closer Look,” show host Rose Scott talked with Atlanta-based political strategist Fred Hicks about how both campaigns are laying out their political path for winning the White House this November. Hicks also discussed the big drivers of polling and the surge in fundraising for the Harris campaign.
