The Spin

Democratic narrative

Walz's "coachspeak" was apropos considering the type of leadership he and Harris are offering the American people. The Harris/Walz ticket is determined to turn the page from the Trump era and move America forward. This speech hit all the right notes to relate to average Americans and win over their hearts and minds.

Republican narrative

Walz's speech was short, lacked substance, and spent a lot of time touting his resume — details of which have come under scrutiny. Democrats think they're going to win on vibes and feelings, but the American people want policies that will make the country and their lives better.
