Summary

Kamala Harris’s political skills have transformed a potentially disastrous 2024 presidential election into a competitive race.

Despite initial skepticism and a challenging campaign, Harris has improved her public image and closed the gap with Trump on key issues. Since Biden stepped aside in July and endorsed her, she has shifted from an unpopular vice president to a viable candidate, even matching Trump in polls on economic issues.

Her leadership has given Democrats a chance to prevent a Trump landslide and halt the rise of American authoritarianism.

    What’s more amazing is that no one is saying “is America ready for a woman president?” this time around, like they were in 2016. It’s refreshing, but also sad that it took this long.

      Because the “it’s her turn” presumptuous messaging back fired massively and came off as sexist; while Republicans already accepted that Harris has been secretly running the country given Biden’s mental conditions.
