Then there were the star attractions on stage: Kamala Harris, now formally ratified as the party’s presidential nominee, and Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, her new vice-presidential running-mate. Not since 1968 has one of America’s two major parties switched out a presumptive presidential nominee months before an election. On current evidence of the move’s effects, they might consider doing so more often.
