Highlighted by Vice President Kamala Harris accepting the Democratic nomination, Bracewell’s Liam Donovan and The New York Times’ opinion writers recap the final night of the Democratic National Convention.
Best Moment
Donovan: Gabby Giffords was the feel-good story of the night – just a remarkable recovery and delightful return to form.
Worst Moment
Donovan: No obvious blunders beyond the anticlimax after a much-hyped surprise guest never materialized, although Mark Kelly’s rather dull speech made a great retroactive case for Tim Walz.
What Else Caught Your Eye
Donovan: A vibes speech for a vibes election, but Harris continues to exceed modest expectations and avoid the Republican-painted caricature. Nothing flashy, but a well-delivered address that touched all the bases while explicitly appealing to the political center.
