Dan Balz: “In his historical past as a candidate for president, Donald Trump has by no means skilled something just like the previous month. Vice President Kamala Harris, a Black and Indian American girl, has pushed the White alpha male to the sidelines of the nationwide dialog, denying him the highlight he craves and continually calls for.”
“Democrats concluded their electrifying nationwide conference right here on Thursday night time with Harris as the principle occasion, delivering an deal with sculpted to maintain her on the crest of a wave that has modified the contours of the presidential election.”
“The Democrats are within the sport, the previous president is in a field, and it’s not clear whether or not he is aware of what to do.”
“Making an attempt to free himself from this bind, Trump has plucked from what was as soon as a examined playbook of tips that previously has stored his opponents off-balance and himself on the focal point. However because the marketing campaign now strikes to its subsequent part, the deal with him and the way he makes an attempt to regain his stability can be as a lot or extra of the story in contrast with how Harris navigates the highway forward.”
