During his "My Take," Tuesday, "Varney & Co." host Stuart Varney discussed President Biden's farewell speech at the DNC and whether Kamala Harris' "all government, all the time" message will be enough to defeat Donald Trump.
: He spoke for 52 minutes. His speech went way past midnight. He teared up.
He said, "I gave my best to you." The crowd chanted "thank you, Joe." Then, he was gone.
As The Wall Street Journal commented today, he was "poor, unwanted, Joe Biden."
President Joe Biden speaks during the first day of the Democratic National Convention at the United Center on August 19, 2024 in Chicago, Illinois.
Now, the party doesn't want to know him. He’s off on a two-week vacation in California. Out of sight, out of mind.
They don’t want to know him. This is politics. In politics, you have to win.
So now it’s all Harris and Walz. It’s all about image. It’s a love fest.
Spare the policy and don’t do serious interviews because that could destroy the image they are trying to build.
The Democrats have to wonder if it will be enough. Will hating Trump carry Harris over the finish line?
She is not a great campaigner. She dropped out of the presidential race in 2019 before a single vote was cast.
She has a highly skilled team of handlers and a very compliant media.
Heaven forbid that the real Kamala Harris and her policies are revealed in full.
Barring catastrophe, by the end of the week, Harris will be riding a sea of motion.
She will probably get a bump in the polls.
But next week, the ball will be in Trump’s court.
He has to stay on message, and that message is Harris is all government all the time, and that’s not what America is all about.
