Over the past four days, Democrats in Chicago have been joyously celebrating as Kamala Harris accepted her party's nomination for president. The festivities culminated in a grand event at the United Center, complete with confetti and balloons.
Despite the jubilant atmosphere, Harris and her campaign team are maintaining a realistic outlook on the road ahead. According to a top Democrat who recently spoke with Harris, there is a sense of being 'clear-eyed' about the challenges that may lie ahead.
While there is no talk of a 'honeymoon' period following President Joe Biden's exit from the race, Harris and her team are aware that the current wave of momentum and enthusiasm may not be sustained indefinitely. Factors influencing this potential decline in momentum could be both within and outside of Harris' control.
