She aimed to show that she is relatable to the American people and capable of handling the responsibilities of the presidency.

Harris's DNC speech: Harris emphasized her historical significance and ability to make lives better, but did not take responsibility for her current role or address inflation and immigration in depth. The debate will likely focus on holding her accountable for the Biden administration's actions.
Kamala Harris's Democratic National Convention speech focused on her historical significance as a potential first female and first African American president, but also emphasized her ability to make people's lives better. The speech was effective in portraying her as a reasonable and plausible candidate, but she did not take responsibility for her current role as Vice President or address the issues of inflation and immigration in depth. The Republicans' argument is that the country cannot afford to leave the same people in charge if they believe the country is on the wrong track. The debate on September 10th will likely focus on holding Harris accountable for the Biden administration's actions. Despite Donald Trump's popularity, the question remains whether the American people will hold Harris accountable for the current state of the country. Harris's offensive approach to addressing issues, such as immigration, may appeal to independent voters looking to make a choice between the two candidates.

The Democrats effectively portrayed Trump as a bumbling and incompetent figure, while Harris presented a young, calm, and competent image.

Overall, the Democrats successfully framed the election as a choice between two vastly different visions for the future of the country.

Pennsylvania Decides Presidency: The outcome of the 2020 presidential race could hinge on Pennsylvania, where Biden currently leads but Trump still has a slight edge, making it a crucial battleground state.
