Kamala Harris makes her case | GZERO World with Ian Bremmer

Vice President Kamala Harris closed out a historic week at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago that rallied Democrats around themes of freedom, joy, and unity. Harris used the #DNC to try to show US voters that she can unite all Americans behind a ‘new way forward,’ but did she succeed in making the case for a Harris-Walz ticket?

On GZERO World, former Congresswoman Donna Edwards and presidential historian Douglas Brinkley joined @Ian_Bremmer to give their take on a truly unprecedented DNC that capped off one of the most extraordinary months in modern political history. Joe Biden and Democrats passed the baton to a new generation of political leaders, showcasing the talent and diversity within the Party. While the energy in the United Center was like nothing Dems have seen since Barack Obama led the ticket, Kamala Harris will be the first to point out that she is still very much the underdog in this election. And with polls showing the presidential race is essentially tied between the two parties, will any convention bump be too little too late to defeat Donald Trump?

The 1st thing she and Tim face is their homework, how to take care of most ordinary citizen’s concerns, instead of 1% rich.

I hate how I’ve seen half of this already

To sustain the high energy of DNC week the joy of the convention must filter down to the local political operations. The Democratic foot soldiers need to convey that joy in their interactions with the voting public.

We need to be a manufacturing nation like we did before china. More taxes made as well as jobs.

Not really feeling the history vibe from a candidate that has never won a single vote for her nomination.

Feels really dirty.

Also - I’m keen to read some policy papers from her and some more challenging questions.

But that’s just me I guess. I am so disappointed in the DNC.

1:11 Uhm....n....n-no, she's, like... *very* much not, but go on.

[bensmith]

Zero record. Zero achievements. Americans should be raging that the system is giving them the choice between these two. America deserves better.

Omg...did this channel become a PR company for the Harris campaign? I'll look elsewhere for better journalism....

[jimgaston]

To say that Trump is a liar but not mention Kamala’s lies is disengenuous at best but expected from this channel.
