The conventional wisdom of Democrats 18 months ago was that Kamala Harris was a failed vice president
David Brooks, here:
Because the Kamala Harris of 2020 was a terrible, terrible candidate. and, frankly, if you go back to the Democratic conventional wisdom about Kamala Harris 18 months ago, it was failed vice president. How do we get her off the ticket? And so the Democratic Party has shifted.

CNN October 2020: Mike Pence correctly noted that Senator Kamala Harris favors a fracking ban
https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/08/business/ban-fracking-biden-trump-job-jobs/index.html
Now Harris has reversed herself, just in time for the election:
Vice President Kamala Harris will not seek to ban fracking if she’s elected president, an official with her campaign told The Hill on Friday.
Harris’s position not to support a ban on fracking differs from where she stood when she was running for president last cycle.

What they're not saying: Core pce inflation actually ticked up in June to 2.63% yoy from 2.62% in May 2024
Looks like we're skidding into a "soft-landing" of significantly higher inflation than under Trump.
The 1H2024 average was 2.8%, still much higher than under Trump, and not in evidence since the early 1990s.
Seven months of the measure below 3% starting in Dec 2023, but we're stabilizing at 2.6%?
C'mon man.
Progress has been GLACIAL.

CNN: Kamala Harris repeatedly supported the violent "Defund the Police" movement in the streets in June 2020 on the radio, MSNBC, The View, and Good Morning America, and then clammed-up about it
She's the violent threat to democracy they claim Trump to be.
“This whole movement is about rightly saying, we need to take a look at these budgets and figure out whether it reflects the right priorities,” Harris said on a New York-based radio program “Ebro in the Morning” on June 9, 2020, adding that US cities were “militarizing police” but “defunding public schools.”...
In an interview a day earlier, Harris also lauded Los
Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti for his decision to slash $150 million from
the police budget and move it into social services. ...
“We need to have this conversation and critically examine and understand this is not working,” Harris said on “Ebro in the Morning.” “It’s not working. So, this is an important conversation and not just a conversation – cause to your earlier point, can’t just be about talk. It has to be about forcing change.”
“And this is why, you know, I was out there with folks and we’ll, any movement, any progress we have gained has been because people took to the streets,” Harris added.
A day before her “Ebro in the Morning” radio interview, Harris appeared on MSNBC where she explicitly called to “demilitarize police departments” and said it was “backward” to think more police officers created more safety.
“Part of what we have to do here is also look at the militarization of police departments and, and the kind of money that is going to that. And we need to demilitarize police departments,” Harris said. “At its core, one of the issues that I think we should all agree on is that it is old thinking. It is outdated and is actually wrong and backward to think that more police officers will create more safety.”
In another interview on “The View” on June 8, 2020, Harris engaged in an exchange on defunding the police where she directly suggested the funding for police could be used in other social programs.
“In many cities in America, over one third of their city
budget goes to police. So, we have to have this conversation. What are
we doing? What about the money going to social services? What about the
money going to helping people with job training? What about helping with
the mental health issues that communities are being plagued with for
which we’re putting no resources?”
Also on June 8, 2020, Harris praised the mayor of Los
Angeles for removing money from police and investing it in social
services in an interview on “Good Morning America."
“I applaud Eric Garcetti for doing what he’s done,” she said. ...
After June 2020, Harris rarely if at all mentioned the
“defund the police” movement. The Biden campaign later tried to clarify
after adding her to the ticket that she supported funding the police. ...
James Piereson: Trump will win by six points and both houses of Congress
Notwithstanding the euphoria today, Trump will win the election by six points—forty-nine to forty-three percent—winning 339 electoral votes, including all of the so-called swing states, plus the Democratic-leaning states of Virginia, Minnesota, and New Hampshire. Republicans will pick up three or four seats in the Senate and perhaps twenty seats in the House, giving them safe majorities in both chambers. This will give Trump the margins he needs to implement a good piece of his agenda in 2025 and 2026.
