Kamala Harris completes her reinvention
As the Democrats’ convention ends, the general election begins in earnest
KAMALA HARRIS’S acceptance speech to the Democratic National Convention on August 22nd marked the culmination of one of the most rapid and comprehensive political reinventions in modern American history. Across five years at the highest levels of American politics, Ms Harris developed a reputation as unsteady, left-wing, inauthentic and gaffe-prone. Yet one month into her second attempt at the presidency, the old Ms Harris is gone, replaced by a self-assured and polished politician who energised thousands of party faithful, moderates and left-wingers alike.
Police are killing more Americans than ever. Where’s the outrage?
The scarcity of protests is striking
NASA insists that two astronauts are not “stranded” in space
The Starliner mishap is another embarrassment for Boeing
Where crashing cars is the point
Making sense of demolition derbies
The ubiquitous J.B. Pritzker, the man behind the Democrats’ party
The governor of Illinois is thinking big
Behind the surge in migrants crossing America’s northern border
The shift exemplifies the fluid nature of migration
History will judge Joe Biden by Kamala Harris
A victory would be her triumph, and his, but a loss would be his responsibility
