Kamala Harris Pulled Off a Miracle
newrepublic.com
The fact that the election is a toss-up, rather than a Trump landslide, is a testament to the vice president’s political skills.

Summary

Kamala Harris’s political skills have transformed a potentially disastrous 2024 presidential election into a competitive race.

Despite initial skepticism and a challenging campaign, Harris has improved her public image and closed the gap with Trump on key issues. Since Biden stepped aside in July and endorsed her, she has shifted from an unpopular vice president to a viable candidate, even matching Trump in polls on economic issues.

Her leadership has given Democrats a chance to prevent a Trump landslide and halt the rise of American authoritarianism.

    I know right. They act like Harris was some plucky underdog. When in reality her party is only one of two that govern the most power country on earth.
