The fact Harris been relatively anonymous, once the sign of an underwhelming VP, is now the very thing that enables her to appear new.
Outside this week’s Democratic National Convention, beyond the lights and delirium, the Chicago venue was emblazoned with a curious sign: “A New Way Forward” it boomed, echoing a pledge Kamala Harris has taken to offering on the trail. “Together we will chart a new way forward,” is how she put it at a Milwaukee rally during the Convention.and inspired the crowd to chant “yes she can!” you could have been forgiven for reviving all the hits in your own mind.
Against Biden a month ago, Trump appeared inevitable. But as of this week, national polls show Harris leading. Satisfaction with the choice of candidates on offer has tripled among Democrats, and increased by well over half among independent voters. Democrats are positively enthused: 62 per cent support Harris “strongly”, compared to 34 per cent for Biden.
I have no doubt this freshness is a product of circumstance. Harris is not fresh because she’s an electric figure in the Obama mould. She’s fresh precisely because by the end, Joe Biden wasn’t. Just as food tastes better after a fast, or sunshine is more vivid after weeks of rain, Harris’ vitality is in direct proportion to Biden’s tiredness. The “change” she represents is more aesthetic than anything. Presidents set the tone of their administration, and her tone is wholly different to Biden’s.
