Harris offers voters a blank slate at Democratic rally
Cal Thomas critiques Kamala Harris drawing on what he calls a tense staff environment and a perceived policy emptiness. He questions middle class promises, border policy, and reliability, comparing Harris to a bait-and-switch candidacy while noting media portrayal and prior aides’ remarks.
Harris Faces Long Odds as VP Run for President Sparks Debate
The Chicago convention signals Democratic confidence but history weighs heavily on Kamala Harris. Only one sitting vice president, George H.W. Bush in 1988, has won the presidency since 1836, and current inflation, debt, and global upheaval complicate her bid. Critics cite Biden policy baggage, border strife, and economic policy as risks, while supporters argue her insurgent stance could redefine the race. Marc A. Thiessen notes the dynamic echoes 1968 more than 1988, with Biden’s declining popularity adding to the challenge.
