Notable Quote of the Day ([link removed])

“[Kamala Harris] tried to allow Democrats — especially women and people of color — to see themselves in her words. She vouched for Biden. She punched Donald Trump, but not nearly as hard as Barack Obama had moments before.

She met the moment, but did not try to be all things to all Democrats.

There was no olive branch to progressives, who hoped to be voting for a different presidential candidate, then wished for another woman to be Biden’s VP pick. She made racial injustice a defining focus of her speech. And Harris also did not nod to the dual realities of representing Biden while carving out areas for herself in future policy debates.”

 – Christopher Cadelago and Natasha Korecki, _Politico_
