Jim and Greg are getting an early start on Labor Day weekend, so their assessment of the Kamala Harris CNN interview will have to wait for another day. Instead, they examine the state of both campaigns and what the long term impact of the DNC switching candidates will be on future election cycles.
First, they look at the Trump campaign and the massive opportunity and challenge facing the Trump-Vance ticket. They stress that Trump has a huge advantage if he stays on message about the disaster that has unfolded on the watch of both Harris and president Biden. From the border to inflation to an unstable world to the left's radical cultural agenda, the path to victory is right there. But can Trump stay disciplined enough to focus on that all the way to the finish line?
Next, they examine the Harris campaign and it's ongoing effort to make this an election about history and momentum rather than anything substantive. So far Harris has abandoned more positions than she has established in this campaign, and Democrats are actively encouraging her not to get more specific in order to attract more voters. Can this empty approach actually work?
Finally, they consider how the Dems' swapping out Biden for Harris might impact future election cycles. There is clearly an advantage to avoid a grueling two-year campaign and making a three-month sprint to Election Day. So will we see shorter primary seasons or some other new approach as the parties seek the upper hand?
