Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democrats wrapped up a successful convention in Chicago this week, focusing on unity, the middle class, and women’s issues. Harris delivered a powerful speech on Thursday night, emphasizing her connection with voters and contrasting herself with former President Donald Trump.
Despite the positive vibes and strong messaging, the convention lacked substance on key issues like inflation, the cost of living, immigration, and crime. While the Harris-Walz ticket is expected to receive a modest bump in support, the race is likely to remain close, similar to past elections.
The upcoming debate between Harris and Trump on Sept. 10 will be crucial in shaping the direction of the campaign. Trump and the Republicans will need to effectively critique Harris to gain an edge in the race.
Overall, the convention highlighted Harris’ strengths but also raised questions about the depth of the Democratic ticket’s platform. As the campaign heats up, both parties will need to fine-tune their strategies to win over undecided voters and secure victory in the 2024 presidential election.
