The giddy excitement over the selection of Tim Walz for vice president may make Democrats feel good for the moment but it is unlikely to change the outcome of the November election. No one decided to vote for President Joe Biden based on his decision to select Kamala Harris as his running mate.
John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin was not the reason he lost his election for president. Barack Obama wasn’t elected president because he chose to run alongside Joe Biden. Mitt Romney didn’t lose his White House bid because Paul D. Ryan was his pick for vice president.
So far Kamala Harris has not offered one thought about what she will do if elected president. We have all heard Donald Trump’s plans to raise tariffs, close the border, and expel illegal aliens among other promises. From Harris we have heard nothing.
Some of you may remember the 1984 US presidential campaign in which Walter Mondale used this slogan, “Where’s the beef?” to ridicule his rival for the Democratic nomination.
I am asking the same question in 2024.
