New York Times: “The sudden elevation of Kamala Harris to replace President Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket has transformed what had been a long slog between Mr. Biden and former President Donald J. Trump into a 100-day sprint to Election Day. This campaign is now playing out in fast forward, with a vice-presidential pick, convention, the debate on debates, the production of television advertisements and the crafting of strategy, all taking place in the crunch of weeks rather than months.”
“Voters will begin casting ballots in Pennsylvania, one of the critical battleground states, as soon as mid-September.”
“Analysts from both parties said that timeline is likely to benefit Ms. Harris. Her campaign is looking to ride a burst of momentum, hoping to coast past some of the scrutiny and detailed policy debates that candidates usually experience on the path to the nomination — and leaving Mr. Trump casting about to adjust to a very different opponent.”
