The Spin
Democratic narrative
Harris delivered the perfect acceptance speech by expressing her desire to unite the nation and to provide economic opportunity for everyone regardless of party. She presented herself as the sane, moderate candidate while also landing punches on Trump where he's most vulnerable. It looks like she's on the path to victory.
Republican narrative
Harris' speech was historically short and lacked any substantive policy talk. She spent most of her time providing a distorted view of her childhood and past jobs, in addition to lying about Trump's policies and actions. The speech was as big a letdown as the lack of a superstar appearance, which had been rumored over the course of the day.
