A week ago, the Democrats under Joe Biden were completely devastated. Suddenly, under Kamala Harris, there is boundless enthusiasm. How much is justified? How much is real?
She is celebrated everywhere. The halls for her performances are suddenly too small. Not all the crowds can get in. The atmosphere inside is exuberant, cheerful, almost exuberant.
It seems as if Kamala Harris has already won the election.
A week ago, the Democratic Party was still at rock bottom. Joe Biden’s ratings were collapsing. Donald Trump was at his peak after the Republican convention and the failed assassination attempt. The race seemed decided.
A single week shows that nothing has been decided yet. But it also shows that the race has by no means tipped. First and foremost, it shows that one should be cautious with predictions, especially in turbulent weeks like these.
