time“If you had predicted this scene to anyone watching the race a month ago, no one would have believed it.”
“But Ms. Harris has pulled off one of the swiftest shifts in the atmosphere in modern political history, transforming a fight over the declining cognitive abilities of an aging president. With Joe Biden out of office and Ms. Harris in office, President Donald Trump’s reelection now seems inevitable.”
“Judging by the past few weeks, Harris’ own party underestimated her. Maybe the 2020 primary simply wasn’t the right fit for her talents. Maybe the vice presidential role wasn’t the right fit. Suddenly, Harris seems like the right fit for the times: a former prosecutor facing a convicted felon, an abortion rights advocate facing off against the man who helped overturn Roe v. Wade, a next-generation Democrat facing off against a 78-year-old Republican.”
“Perhaps best of all, she has given the public the one thing they overwhelmingly say they want in the polls – a credible alternative to the two unpopular old men who have been in the prime ministerial chair for the past eight years.”
