CNN commentator Van Jones said that the Democratic Party was renewed by the emergence of Vice President Harris and her leadership at the Democratic National Convention.

Vice President Kamala Harris gave a ringing speech that fired Democrats up to close the Democratic convention and this more or less picture-perfect convention came to an end. Harris will likely continue to strengthen in the polls as is typical after a convention and there is no doubt that the Democrats are in better shape now than they were if they had kept with President Joe Biden as their candidate.

More than anything, what Harris has done was to bring back core Democratic constituencies including Black voters, young voters, women and elites and this returned the race to at least even.

The second thing that the convention did was to make it appear that former President Donald Trump was the incumbent president responsible for the last four years and not the Biden-Harris team. The future is Harris, and the past is Trump in their messaging, and there was little to no attempt to justify the last four years — they simply didn’t exist.
