General response seems to be she delivered it perfectly, not that it really moves a lot of votes, but it continues to drive a narrative of her as a precise, well-firing candidate, and also won a lot of praise for its thorough presentation of a foreign policy vision in easy to grasp ways. Harris is continuing to be a huge and pleasant surprise in this campaign. Even Fox News generally covered the speech in extremely positive terms. If Harris continues to flip the Trump narrative on its head, that should really hamper Trump; for him to be the babbling, incomprehensible old man presenting a political program most Americans are exhausted about. I maintain that Americans don’t really like identity politics much…they just dislike leftist identity politics more than right wing identity politics, but if you have a Democratic ticket that has, from the lessons of 2016 and 2020, almost completely dropped identity politics for economic populism and a vision of joyful normality, my gut feeling is that is very effective for Democrats.
A long stretch, but Trump is not responding well and not pivoting well and Harris is executing the strategy that Biden *wanted* to execute with added flair and the whole normalcy angle which was never really part of the Biden strategy (the weird label has been so effective because it so accurately captures what a hermetic vacuum the right has been the past decade, to the point where they have all their own internal references and very insular culture, full of ideas, thinkers, and cultural norms that are aggressively separate from “debased” popular culture and strike even a lot of normal conservatives who aren’t part of that very online movement, as weird).
