🔮 What Kamala Harris May Have to Do Next

Politics

On Thursday night, Kamala Harris took the stage at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago; it was the culmination of an exciting week for Democrats. Harris was upbeat—as she has been throughout the month since she became the presumptive nominee—and performed the “joy” that has become a selling point of what has been, by necessity, a hastily thrown-together campaign. In front of a raucous crowd, she hit all the notes—emotional and proud when discussing her mother, serious and forceful when discussing her reasons for becoming a prosecutor, and clear in her attacks against Donald Trump. Anyone who was justifiably worried about how this campaign might look after Joe Biden dropped out of the race can rest easy.
