Harris revived the Democrats, but can she win the US election? | The Bottom Line

By replacing President Joe Biden with Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party has brought new life to an abysmal presidential campaign. But with more than two months to go before the elections, US public opinion is evenly divided between her and Republican candidate Donald Trump.

Harris has painted herself as the young, forward-looking alternative for the country, “and has now made Trump look small and backward”, argues Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg. But as McClatchy national politics correspondent David Catanese points out, the Democrats are vulnerable on immigration and the economy, so the race is far from over.

Genocide is not an issue. Genocide is the biggest crime against humanity and the US is enabling it.

Gaza is the elephant in the room and Harris has to truly be different than Biden.

[romeogagliardi]

Why would you have such biased analysts ? Crazy. I’m not voting for anyone but how could anyone vote for her?! She says nothing has done nothing and went down as the least liked VP ever

The Democratic party strategist said 'Palestine is not a voting issue"....

I love the AIPAC professor downplaying the Gaza issue.

If Harris wins america is doom too me with her running it.

Less helpful than usual - Not so much 'informative' or analytical. More like being sold to. Disappointing.

One of the better discussions of Harris (mostly) and Trump but is quite accurate in describing much of the "needs" that Harris must announce, layout and contend with in the near future.

He is also correct that Harris' popularity is attributable to Biden's unpopularity...default candidate, any candidate

As we saw with Biden-Trump election, Biden was elected by default...not his leadership, not his charisma...he was not Trump.

Harris is enthusiastically supported because she is not Biden...no platform, plank, conversation points...lots of unknown

@16:05 The Democratic rep guest is arguing for REPRESSION on college campuses. Curtailing freedom of speech and assembly is NOT VERY DEMOCRATIC

She can't stop the war in the world...

tRUMP at one point was white but somehow turned orangie-yellow. Someone should look into that.

@AIPAC loves @KamalaHarris & @GovTimWalz

[victoriaadams]

Unscripted???? Have you SEEN her in Senate committee testimonies?

[davecarkeet]

Great intelligent conversation, a breath of fresh air :-)... Thanks

[joerogain]

tRUMP sounded like Daffy Duck without his dentures on Elon Musk's X.
