Night three of the Democratic National Convention featured speeches by Oprah Winfrey and Tim Walz, and Bracewell’s Liam Donovan again breaks it all down with The New York Times’ opinion writers.
Best Moment
Donovan: Walz was on brand, and Oprah brought the star power, but the methodical buildup of Kamala Harris’ record as a tough border-state prosecutor is a reminder of what this race will boil down to when the speeches fade.
Worst Moment
Donovan: An uneven night where Democrats tried some ambitious things that didn’t always land, which doubles as a good descriptor of Bill Clinton’s speech. He may still be (barely) younger than Trump, but his garrulous style hits differently now that the oratory fastball is long gone.
What Else Caught Your Eye
Donovan: Just put the franchise tag on Maryland’s governor, Wes Moore, right now. One way or another, the man will be on the next open Democratic ticket.
