ATLANTA—Vice President Kamala Harris rallied supporters during a July 30 campaign gathering that capped a rapid series of events, beginning with President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race on June 21, just 107 days ahead of the election.

That was followed quickly by Harris’s campaign announcement and a string of endorsements by high-profile party members, including former President Barack Obama.
