Last night, at the Democratic National Convention, Vice President Kamala Harris accepted her party’s nomination, becoming the first woman of color in U.S. history to do so.
Astead W. Herndon and Reid J. Epstein, who cover politics for The Times, discuss the story this convention told about Ms. Harris — and whether that story could be enough to win the presidential election.

All you Biden/Harris supporters seem like you yourselves missed the lesson in your high school where they explained that the VP takes over for the Prez ONLY when the Prez himself is no longer able to serve!
Ford took over of Nixon because Nixon resigned rather than face impeachment!
Vs Biden, who Democrats-Including Harris Herself-Kept saying for YEARS was still, ‘ Sharp as a Tack! ‘.
Until Suddenly-He Wasn’t!
So either Harris was unbelievably oblivious to Biden’s mental decline!
OR Harris LIED about Biden’s mental decline!
Those are the ONLY possibilities!
Either way, she is disqualified from being Prez herself!
Horse shit

Regardless of how “Joyful” the DNC was, the key is going to be the debate, how Kamala defends the mess they facilitated at the Mexican border and in Gaza…
For what it’s worth, the border bill was fully bipartisan, and would have passed with out a hitch… right up until Trump told his side to not vote for what their own people had written. All because he didn’t want to give the current administration a win before the election.
This was mentioned multiple times throughout the convention and before, and has been fact checked.
