The Spin

Harris and the Democrats will have an opportunity to flaunt their winning strategy with the whole country watching this week. She must contrast how her plan for the future differs from former Pres. Trump's, and explain why she should take the baton from Pres. Biden. The country's ready to get behind her.

Everything the Democrats stand for is represented by their convention's host city. Chicago is one of the murder capitals of the country thanks to soft Democratic policies. It also has the second-highest sales and property tax despite a crumbling economy. Its schools are failing because they're run by the teachers' union. Harris won't be able to hide any of this.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 55% chance that Harris is elected president in 2024, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
