Quote of the Day
“Chait argues that for Kamala Harris to win this November, she must look to Obama, rather than Biden, as her guide. He writes that Democrats have made a "cascading series of poor decisions" over the past decade thanks to revisionist history from some progressives that Obama's presidency was a failure—and that Biden's was a success. Whereas Obama passed one of the most sweeping, long-lasting reforms in modern times (the Affordable Care Act) while easily winning both of his elections, Biden passed a robust policy agenda...and became more unpopular as a result.”
Harris's early moves to distance herself from the professional left and speak to the anxieties of more moderate voters, as Obama did, is an encouraging sign of where her campaign might go.
