New York Times: “Ms. Harris’s ascent to the top of the ticket has transformed the presidential race into a fundamentally different contest, delivering an electric shock to a listless Democratic Party that for more than a year struggled to mobilize its base behind Mr. Biden.”
“But the real test awaits: whether Ms. Harris can convert the wave of pent-up liberal energy into sustained momentum. While polling shows that the party’s core voters have rallied behind Ms. Harris, the race remains in a dead heat, reflecting the politics of a fiercely divided nation. After months of Democratic attrition over a weakened candidate, Ms. Harris must now rebuild the coalition that powered Democrats — and the Biden-Harris ticket — to victory in 2020.”
