The Spin

Walz's coachspeak was apropos considering the type of leadership he and Harris are offering the American people. The Harris/Walz ticket is determined to turn the page from the Trump era and move America forward. This speech hit all the right notes to relate to average Americans and win over their hearts and minds.

The third night of the Democratic convention continued to be a message-less mess focused on attacking former Pres. Trump. Walz's speech was short, lacked substance, and spent a lot of time touting his resume — details of which have come under scrutiny. Democrats think they're going to win on vibes and feelings, but the American people want policies that will make the country and their lives better.

Metaculus Prediction

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