The Spin
Democratic narrative
Heavy in policy with a focus on unity instead of division, Harris's Pittsburgh speech was a stark contrast to the often hate-filled ramblings that America has grown so used to within the Trump campaign. Harris' opportunity economy is the only agenda aimed at uplifting America's middle class and finally bringing politics back to the people who truly matter. Her policies will stimulate the economy and empower workers.
Republican narrative
By suggesting America must move on from its failed policies of the past, Harris showed extreme disregard for the responsibility they hold over America's current economic woes. Having pushed the cost of living through the roof during her time as vice president, Harris is fooling no one by claiming that she's the answer to the struggles of the American middle class, who need an America First solution.
