The Democrats surf out of the national convention in Chicago with great enthusiasm and patriotism. We got to know more about a football coach who wants to be vice president, new political voices outside Washington and the presidential candidate himself, who told what is at stake. The details of the party program are still not known, but the campaign’s slogan is “Freedom”. Freedom to control your own body and choose your own future. “The world’s greatest privilege is to be an American” Last night she was hailed as the party’s undisputed leader and rallying point, and she gave some hints as to what her politics will look like. “I see a United States where we care about each other. Look after each other, and see that we have much more in common than what separates us”, said Harris in his speech to the national meeting last night. Because this national meeting has been about gathering, mobilizing and looking ahead. It became clear quite early on that where the Trump campaign wants to look back, and recreate something that once was in the United States, Harris wants to look forward. One thing she did not mention was the historic nature of her candidacy: She may become America’s first female president, but chose to focus on the challenges America faces. However, she framed the speech in her own life story, about her mother who came to the United States as an immigrant at the age of 19 from India. Harris went to great lengths to promise tax relief for the middle class, get a new security law passed and gave clear support to Ukraine and NATO. She also went to great lengths in her support for the Palestinian people, and received huge cheers from the audience for the last one. The demonstrations that disappeared Before the national meeting in Chicago, there was a lot of writing and focus on the many young demonstrators outside the conference hall. Inside the doors, there were less loud protests. Some delegates at the national meeting protested against the US’s role in the Middle East. This is the most visible and emotionally charged issue where the party is not united. A topic Harris tackled last night which clearly showed the difficult balancing act she is in. Between supporting Israel’s right to defend itself and condemning the war on Gaza. There was also a clear signal from the event committee: None of the Palestine activists were given speaking time at the meeting. Some of them lobbied for this until the last day of the meeting. The party is over The National Assembly party is over in both parties. Now it’s about rolling up your sleeves. The vitamin pills have been distributed. The parties have two different versions and visions for the United States. Today’s polls indicate that it will be an even election. For four days, the Democrats have paid tribute to President Joe Biden, stood behind Kamala Harris and poked fun at Donald Trump. One thing that may be new this year is the role of the vice-presidents. It is not often that they play such a visible and important role. This year, that may change. Several of the swing states that can decide the election are located in the Midwest. Both vice presidential candidates, Tim Walz and JD Vance, will appeal to the same voters. The two have different approaches. Among other things, they are both concerned with being family men and standing for family politics, but in very different ways. Vance is committed to protecting the heterosexual nuclear family and strict abortion laws. Walz has fought for queer rights and told in his national meeting speech about how he and his wife had a child with the help of fertility treatment. It is a type of medical aid that strict abortion laws threaten in some states. Forward This week has belonged to the Democrats. Donald Trump has held public meetings and tried to grab attention every day, without making big headlines. But as early as Friday it is expected that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. withdraws as an independent presidential candidate. Kennedy is on the ballot in 19 of America’s 50 states, and has no way to the White House. It has been unclear whether he would have taken votes from Trump or Harris. But he could have tipped the election, and in what is likely to be a very close fight, all votes are welcome for both parties. Now the big question is how long the energy and the wave will last. Because in the American election campaign everyday life quickly returns and there is one thing this summer has taught us: Things change quickly.
