Kamala Harris makes it look easy because Trump is so bad

There are good reasons to be wary of Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee. He was not involved, or very little, in the various international crises that Joe Biden had to manage during his tenure.

In 2021 we note the small impact of the work accomplished on the immigration file that his employer handed him. He chose to make his exchanges with the press almost non-existent. .

She’s quick to lash out when challenged for an evasive comment she’s made, and she makes them often. Finally, his campaign for the Democratic nomination in 2019 was a disaster and his run as vice president was marked, at least in the first two years, by constant tensions within his entourage.

Advantage of simulating relief

Despite everything, Kamala Harris is a big bastion of sunshine in this race for the presidency. Instead of marching to the slaughterhouse, enslaved and demoralized, Democratic voters managed to heave a collective sigh of relief when Joe Biden finally gave way, and polls show, since then, Democratic enthusiasm has not wavered.

Kamala Harris gave her the edge, not attracting Democratic voters from those determined to show up at the polls in one camp or another, while analysts agree that the win won’t come from voters who have switched sides. Another reason to shake yourself up. This is a Republican interest that is now losing steam.

Donald Trump’s team has yet to find a way to break the momentum that Kamala Harris has carried since gaining the support of enough Democratic delegates to represent the party in the battle for the White House.

The Republican nominee has decided to increase the number of public interventions, clearly angered by the vice president’s attention-stealing in the media cycle.

During the week, he spoke for more than an hour at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, answering a few questions; He spoke live with Elon Musk, the boss of social media X, for over two hours; He delivered a quarter-hour speech Wednesday in Asheville, North Carolina; Finally, he attended what was announced as a second press conference on Thursday, this time at his golf club in East Bedminster, New Jersey.

Basically, cycle

Conclusion: Donald Trump has nothing new to say. He is incapable of sticking to a clear and coherent message. His comments in New Jersey on Thursday focused on what he sees as the dire state of the U.S. economy. He lost his way in his distaste for wind turbines (“bird killers”), the weight of electric vehicles and the designer of the magazine’s front page. Time.

His endless and bitter speeches are punctuated by his obsession with the size of his crowd, his bemoaning the loss of Joe Biden as an opponent and his claims that he was robbed of victory in the 2020 presidential race — “I don’t have a lot of respect for her intelligence” — and you’ll find little excitement and a lot of disgust in what he says. .

No attention-grabbing slogans or big speeches or inspiring ideas: Kamala Harris doesn’t have to stand out. She should let Trump be Trump.
