She delivered on her big day in Chicago - but taking on Trump in TV debates is a different matter
‘Because Harris’s campaign has the vibes on its side right now, all she needed to do was not to screw up, and she cleared that bar easily’ . When the sense is that things are going your way and the momentum is on your side – and the polls have been moving slowly but steadily in Kamala’s favour – things that might otherwise be counted against you are easily shrugged off.
“Who’s going to tell him that the job he’s currently seeking might just be one of those black jobs?” the former first lady asked, to widespread cheers in the hall. Yes, the speech was light on policy detail, but the Harris campaign has offered much more in the way of detail than its opposition has bothered to publish – leaving aside the infamousConvention speeches aren’t the moment for policy in any case: it’s a chance to tell a human story, and this was the best bit of Harris’s address. Her reference to “family by love” might come across as saccharine to cynical Brits, but will likely land well with her US audience.
That might not seem like a high bar, but when Donald Trump spoke at the RNC – just days after surviving an assassination attempt – it was heavily briefed that he would be newly conciliatory, and reach out to heal America.
