It’s Decision Day for Kamala Harris

August 5, 2024 · 6:34 am ET · Leave a Comment

Playbook: “Harris is scheduled to appear with her pick tomorrow in Philadelphia, so she essentially has the next 24 hours to think over her decision — and think over it some more — and then make a final call (and phone call).”

“The precise nature of the rollout is not final, but campaign insiders are pointing to Joe Biden’s 2020 video introduction of Harris as a likely model, though a media leak of the pick could upend those plans.”

“The hope and expectation in Harris world is that the announcement, and the subsequent seven-state brainstorming tour, generates the kind of excitement that will blot out much of the reporting in recent days on the sharp-elbowed jockeying taking place outside the confines of the Naval Observatory.”
