In the recent history of convention speeches, Kamala Harris’ remarks at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago were relatively short. But they hit all the right notes.
Harris was steady, warm, clear and, at times, funny. She reaffirmed all the themes her campaign has established so quickly and thoroughly: freedom, unity, and a vision for a better future.
While there were a few moments in the speech that may indicate troubles to come, for now, the Democratic Party will leave Chicago on a high. As vice presidential nominee Tim Walz put it, “It’s the fourth quarter. We’re down a field goal. But we’re on offense and we’ve got the ball. We’re driving down the field.”
