Harris Has Fundamentally Changed the Race

Nate Cohn: “Until now, the basic dynamic of the race was driven by Mr. Biden’s unpopularity. It prevented Democrats from running their usual strategy against Mr. Trump and his MAGA allies: Make an election a referendum on Mr. Trump by running a broadly acceptable candidate. Millions of voters were left with an agonizing choice between two candidates they disliked.”

“With Ms. Harris riding an extraordinary wave of momentum at the top of the ticket, at least for now, the usual political dynamic of the Trump era has been restored.”
