This week’s Democratic National Convention was about generational change, but the middle-class rhetoric coupled with an incremental policy agenda rekindled the Clinton era.
Former President Clinton had trouble recalling the year of his first Democratic convention — either 1972 or 1976 — but wondered how many more he’d be around for. “All these young leaders coming up after me,” he said in a wistful prime-time address Wednesday night. “They look better. They sound better. And they'll be exciting.
“But since Harris has come on, the vibe is so much different,” said Travis, who carried a “Cat ladies for Kamala” tote bag as she walked out of the convention center. “It really does my heart good to see so many young people very engaged and working hard.” The desire to win has helped the party conceal ideological differences that have consumed prior conventions and flummoxed Harris when she ran for president four years ago.
