Just before the Democratic national convention

 

The Democratic National Convention starts Monday (two days from now as this is written) in Chicago, and Kamala Harris is likely to be the nominee for President of the United States.

This is what was happening about a month ago.

Biden flips the script — and Republicans forget their lines
It’s a disoriented GOP that must ask: What now?

"Democrats of all varieties — progressives and centrists, party veterans and insurgents, Black, White, Latino and Asian American — have rallied around Vice President Harris, Biden’s choice to succeed him. Nobody came forward to oppose her (except perhaps Sen. Joe Manchin, who isn’t even a Democrat, and gadfly Marianne Williamson). Assuming that overwhelming embrace continues, Democrats will be nominating the vigorous, 59-year-old vice president to run against the erratic, 78-year-old Trump, the oldest major-party nominee in history."

And it shows.
