Harris did her job. She’s lockstep with Biden and often did better at explaining his positions than he does. The main thing is she did nothing to become the story.
Pence hitched himself to Trump tight on his own, but in complete sentences and with a plastic preacher sort of warmth. Harris hit him best when she broke the stitches of his words and exposed the Trump original underneath.
Women will hate Pence running his mouth—note the look in his eyes as he was admonished. Don’t mistake his relative fluency for success. The goals have moved. He spoke too often in stock phrases where Harris went for the kitchen table.
If the election is about fear of the future—and I think it is—Harris discussed the future and Pence underscored there really is no plan for a second term.
As my friend @politicalwire said, I expect Democrats are probably happier with Harris than Republicans with Pence, but almost nothing has changed regardless.
