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.

    What’s more amazing is that no one is saying “is America ready for a woman president?” this time around, like they were in 2016. It’s refreshing, but also sad that it took this long.

    Never fucking mind. At this point I decide whether suicide or applying for a green card is the easier option.

          It was young men, especially Latinos, who broke hard for Trump. Not Boomers.

          White college educated men are the only group that increased in share for Harris. Trump even got a higher share of women than he did in 2020.
