On the final night of the Democratic National Convention, Vice President Kamala Harris took center stage to accept her party’s nomination and outline her policy agenda. With the spotlight now firmly on Harris, the pressure is on for her to prove that she is not only authentic and relatable, but also understands the everyday concerns of the American people.
As activists, operatives, and party leaders begin to leave Chicago, the real test for Harris is just beginning. Morris Reid, a former Political Strategist for Bill Clinton and current Partner at Actum, a global consulting firm, weighed in on Harris’s performance and what lies ahead for her.
Having advised prime ministers, presidents, and corporate leaders around the world, Reid has a unique perspective on what it takes to succeed in the political arena. He highlighted the importance of Harris showing that she has both the “money” and “momentum” to carry her through the challenges that lie ahead.
For Harris to truly connect with voters, she must demonstrate that she not only has a strong policy agenda, but also a deep understanding of the issues that impact people’s everyday lives. As she embarks on this journey, all eyes will be on Harris to see if she can rise to the occasion and prove that she is ready to lead.
