The Democrats showcased a united front at the national convention, focusing on positive vibes rather than concrete policy issues to appeal to voters. While experts are uncertain about sustaining this momentum until November, the party’s strategic shift towards energy and optimism has garnered attention.
Notable political analysts like Robert Weissberg and Keith Preston emphasized the Democrats’ approach to win voters with a hybrid campaign, resembling the Super Bowl and the Academy Awards. Despite a lack of detailed policies, the party’s charismatic figures, including Kamala Harris, have sought to maintain a positive narrative.
Recent polls show Harris performing well against Trump, hinting at a competitive race ahead. The choice of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate has raised some concerns, but the overall image of the Democratic ticket, balancing Harris’s persona with Walz’s appeal, is viewed as a unifying force.
