Kamala Harris is off and running with a mind meld of the most progressive policies of Biden, AOC, and California governor Gavin Newsom.

Kamala Steers Left

Swing voters? Who needs ’em asks the Wall Street Journal editorial board.

[ZH: WSJ goes a little further…]

The main policy areas with some daylight between Biden and Harris have been healthcare, trade, climate and taxes. 

Kamala Harris Isn’t the Change Democrats Need

Change Where?

Kamala Harris isn’t the change voters want because she is promising no change at all.

At least she’s honest. Biden promised to be a moderate and a healer. How’d that work out?

Vote for me, I’m dumb but honest. Hmmm, could that work? Somehow I doubt that is the message voters want to hear.

Appeal to the Base?

Is the Democrat base now the extreme Progressive Left?

Regardless, it’s clear that neither Trump nor Harris has any use for swing voters.

Trump and Harris both can’t be right, but they both can be wrong. One of them will win anyway.

A Word About the Polls

Expect a bounce for Harris. But that bounce may be nothing more than a sigh of relief that Democrats saved Democracy, not from Trump, but from Biden.

With the weight of Biden gone, there will be more enthusiasm headed into the Democratic convention. Then the convention will likely add a bit of a bounce.

We won’t have any readings for a week that mean anything. But if there is no bounce at all in the polls for Harris in the next few weeks that could be a sign that it’s curtains already.

Who Can Afford More Mistakes?

Given that Trump is ahead, he can afford more mistakes unless they are truly gross errors.

Also the economy is slowing fast if not in recession. I think the latter. That helps Trump.
