Donald Trump woke up to bad news after Kamala Harris delivered a powerful speech at the Democratic National Convention, positioning herself as the candidate of change. Historically, voters who make up their minds at the end of elections tend to lean towards the candidate they see as most likely to bring change, and right now that is not Trump. Harris effectively connected the stages of her career as a prosecutor, attorney general, senator, and vice president by emphasizing that her only client has always been the people, while contrasting this with Trump, whose only client is himself. The Harris campaign woke up to headlines about the “new way forward,” positioning her not just as a vice president but as a presidential candidate. This week, Democrats achieved the seemingly impossible task of stripping Harris of the incumbency cloak, making her the new contender on the political scene. MSNBC is hosting a live event called “MSNBC Live: Democracy 2024” in which viewers can see favorite hosts like Claire McCaskill and Rachel Maddow in person and engage in thought-provoking discussions about the upcoming election cycle. McCaskill, the first woman elected as a U.S. Senator from Missouri, is currently a political analyst on MSNBC and NBC News.
