Democrats are starting to panic, Alex Shephard said in the New Republic, and who can blame them?It turns out that Kamala Harris can’t identify a significant breakthrough in this election, no matter what her rival says or does.

Donald Trump directs “an explicitly authoritarian campaign, if not fascist. ” His speeches have been increasingly dismantled and his habit is frankly strange. After one of his meetings was interrupted last week through a medical emergency in the crowd, he suddenly abandoned the format of the answers and spent an hour in a reading list of his favorite songs. And “nothing is compared 2 u”. However, despite all this, he is point with Harris. Three times of this campaign, she had an impulse: when she has become the candidate for the first time; When he chose Tim Walz as a formula partner; And when he beat Trump in the television debate. However, every time the impulse has dissipated. Harris simply cannot conclude the agreement.

If Harris is failing to cut through, it’s partly down to the way the media is covering this race, said Jill Filipovic on Slate. We’ve heard lots about how Harris isn’t doing enough interviews or proposing detailed enough policies. Yet reporters have become so inured to Trump’s outrages and garbled syntax that these barely receive any attention. Earlier this month, Trump launched into a “eugenicist rant” on a TV show, claiming that many migrants have “murdered far more than one person” and that being a murderer is in people’s genes – “we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now”. Although this received some coverage, you’d never have guessed from the headlines that he had said something so shocking. However habituated media commentators have become to Trump’s behaviour, they need to tell people “exactly what the man who wants to be president is saying”.
