So far the Kamala Harris announcement hasn’t impacted on the WH2020 betting
So far there has been very little polling carried out after yesterday’s big announcement that Kamala Harris will be the nominee for VP. In the betting markets the news, which has been widely covered in the US, has hardly moved Biden is seen as about a 60% chance.
Last night there was a big event, alas without an audience, in which Harris gave her first big speech since she got on the ticket and however you arrange things this is hardly going to be as effective than with an enthusiastic hall of supporters cheering every word. But we are where we are and Tean Biden/Harris are going to do nothing that could draw criticism over their attitude to COVID.
My reaction was that Harris was really quite impressive and is going to add a lot to the Biden campaign which is going to come under fierce attack because of his age and his reputation for gaffes.
I think that Harris will add far more than normal VP choices and that will reinforce the overall ticket.
As for Trump I like the pic above which was flagged up on the previous thread. He’s a bald as I am.
