Looks like the talking heads in the media have gotten their wish, and Kamala Harris is the Democratic nominee to go against Trump in the fight to preserve democracy from the outstretched arms of the pro-fascistic Donald Trump. This vivid narrative is the one that will be echoed until early November when Americans will race to the polls in the world's most important popularity contest. The irony is, the nominees are far from the most popular kids on campus.
Many people in left media, while constantly calling for Biden to step aside due to his evident physical decline showcased in the first presidential debate, are also not so sanguine on the nomination of Harris as Biden's replacement. They cite her poor showing in the 2019 presidential election when she was part of a crowded field of Democrats positioned to stop the populism and excitement of the Bernie movement. Harris didn't last long in that race, but she presents a different challenge for Trump. He won't be able to berate Harris as he did Hillary Clinton, a woman who, while in her role as First Lady, was a despised figure by many. Trump's attacks on Harris will come off as virulent racist, which, while rallying the more fringe elements of his base, will also galvanize the more liberal elements of the electorate who were previously checked out of the race to see two octogenarians.
As we move closer to the election, the dynamics between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will continue to evolve. The narratives, strategies, and voter responses will shape the outcome of this highly consequential election. Stay tuned as we keep you updated and provide deeper insights into this historic race.
