The convention's goal was to revive the faded tropes of Obamamania and use them to aid Harris in November. Entertainment figures who appeared on stage and in the audience turned the proceedings into not just a political event, but also a cultural one. Harris has her own Shepard Fairey poster . Stevie Wonder, who rocked Mile-High Stadium when Obama was nominated in 2008, spoke and sang in Chicago. Oprah Winfrey campaigned with Obama at a critical point in his ascent. She endorsed Harris from the dais. "We won't go back," Winfrey told the adoring hometown crowd. "We won't be sent back, pushed back, bullied back, kicked back. We're not going back."

A familiar feeling that has been buried too deep for far too long. You know what I’m talking about. It’s the contagious power of hope.” Hope and change: the twin themes of her husband’s winning 2008 campaign.

There is a clash between free speech and modern censorship.

It was, Dana Bash said on CNN at 9 p.m. Thursday, "a watershed moment." Not just a watershed—"a defining moment." Why the fuss? Kamala Harris was giving an interview.

What's Kamala Harris's secret? In mid-June, she was a political liability for Joe Biden. Now, she's running neck-and-neck with Donald Trump.

If presidential elections were forensic matches, then Kamala Harris would be on her way to the White House. The vice president won Tuesday's debate on points, baiting Donald Trump into diverting from his core message that Harris is too incompetent and too liberal for the Oval Office. The evening was a missed opportunity for Trump to build on his slight, margin-of-error lead in the latest New York Times/Siena poll. Harris—with help from the moderators—emerged unscathed.

‘Clearly, I am not Joe Biden,” said Kamala Harris during the September 10 presidential debate. “And I am certainly not Donald Trump.” Well, that’s for sure. No one doubts that Harris is more youthful, energetic, attractive, and polished than President Biden. The question is whether Vice President Harris disagrees with Biden’s policy choices, regrets any of his decisions, and plans to change course if she’s elected commander in chief.

“As riches increase and accumulate in few hands, as luxury prevails in society, virtue will be in a greater degree considered as only a graceful appendage of wealth, and the tendency of things will be to depart from the republican standard. This is the real disposition of human nature.” —Alexander Hamilton (1788)

Some Trump opponents are ready to declare the election over, Harris the winner, and the Trump era kaput. They could be right. But they just as easily could be wrong. People have been writing Donald Trump's political obituary for close to a decade. It's still not fit to print.
