Kamala Harris and Democratic National Convention Dynamics

Kamala Harris has emerged as the Democratic nominee without engaging in traditional campaign practices, such as debates or interviews, raising questions about her strategy and the broader implications for democracy. Her campaign appears to prioritize minimizing unscripted communication, leading to perceptions of a lack of substantive beliefs. The Democratic National Convention reflects this trend, as press access has been delegated to a significant number of TikTok influencers rather than traditional journalists, which raises concerns about the nature and depth of the coverage. Some observers argue that this approach fosters a political culture centered around excitement rather than meaningful discourse.
