The late July forced abdication of Biden lent an air of illegitimacy, as well as truncating the
time available to campaign. Finally, Harris’s first major decision was to nominate as the buffoonish and inept Tim Walz for VP. His radicalism, serial lying, and herky-jerky “weirdness” proved a force multiplier of her own mediocrity. In contrast, the calm, empathetic, and astute J.D. Vance eviscerated Walz in their sole debate and did the same to the media. Add it all up—and Harris and her star-crossed candidacy were simply and rightly doomed.
