And for Americans who want change, Harris looks like Biden rebranded. Her one advantage, Tuccille says, may be that Donald Trump picked J.D. Vance as his vice-presidential candidate, a mediocre senator and speaker who does little to broaden Trump’s appeal. Meanwhile, Harris still has a chance to pick a strong veep — if her party’s antisemitic faction doesn’t tie her hands. (Recorded July 25, 2024) Learn more about your ad choices.
