That was an impressive debut and commanding performance by Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party’s Vice Presidential candidate. I thought she would be good, but I was wrong. She is much more than good. Her story, presence, voice, acumen, and oratorical skills tell me that she will be a difference maker this fall. She and Joe Biden are a formidable team. We’re off and running to November 3!

Much has been written in the past two days about the significance of Kamala Harris Vice Presidential candidacy. I can’t claim to have read all of them, but I have read several, and I consider this one by Alicia Garza outstanding.

It is special to live at a moment when something historic and ennobling happens, something that makes a break from our racist present and past, something that gives hope a leg up over despair, something that feels like it could make the difference on election day. Biden’s selection of Kamala Harris falls into this category.
