_ “It vibrates different, its rhythm is different, it’s gaining
cultural significance that resonates beyond conventional political
metrics." _

Vice President Kamala Harris contrasted her policy goals with
Republicans’ agenda in her speech on Tuesday at a rally in Atlanta.,

Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential
nominee for just over one week, is heading a campaign that is edging
toward becoming a political and cultural movement, according to a top
Democratic pollster and strategist, with some starting to compare her
popularity to Barack Obama’s historic 2008 campaign.

“There’s something happening,” writes

DNC pollster Cornell Belcher, the President of brilliant corners
Research & Strategies, and a frequent MSNBC guest, “last night this
campaign moved in the direction of a movement.”

Belcher reposted video of what’s being called an “iconic

moment from Harris’ rally of more than 10,000 people (according to
the campaign

in Atlanta Tuesday night.

“It vibrates different, its rhythm is different, it’s gaining
cultural significance that resonates beyond conventional political
metrics. It’s becoming a vibe. GOP has no answer for this,” he
declared.

That video

received more than two million views in under 24 hours.

“I’d argue mainstream media is not getting it
either,” responded
[[link removed]] media
critic Jennifer Schulze. “Cannot judge this moment by usual metrics
like ‘honeymoon’ etc. Something really big is happening. Big.”

“I still have lots of Republican former colleagues and friends,”
attorney, journalist, and author Sophia A. Nelson noted
[[link removed]].
“They are telling me, ‘It’s over. Harris is bigger than Obama
and the timing is right for a woman to win.’ They also lament: ‘JD
Vance was the worst pick ever for VP–Trump needed Haley or a woman
to moderate him.’ ”

“Pundits and Democratic leaders have said Harris’ elevation to Dem
nominee has reminded them of Obama’s 2008 campaign in terms of the
excitement it has garnered,” writes
[[link removed]] Religion
News Service’s Jack Jenkins.

“This is an energy on the ground I have not seen since Barack Obama
in 2008,” DNC Chair Jaime Harrison said last week.
