"Kamala Harris stepped onto the stage at Town Hall Theater in New York City this Wednesday, and suddenly it was the fall of 2024 all over again. The same broad smile, the long laughs at her own quips, the suit jacket... For a moment, it seemed as if, a year later, the presidential campaign in which Donald Trump soundly defeated her hadn't ended."
"And the overarching impression is that its author is convinced that if she lost, it was due to a lack of time. In just 107 days, the dizzyingly short span between President Joe Biden's decision to quit the race on July 21, faced with the evidence of his inability to continue, and election night on November 5, Harris writes, she didn't have time to show voters how much she could have helped them more than Trump."
Kamala Harris entered a Town Hall event in New York with gestures and mannerisms recalling her 2024 campaign. She argues the 107-day interval between President Joe Biden's withdrawal on July 21 and Election Night on November 5 was too brief to convince voters of her advantages over Donald Trump. She frames the loss as caused by time scarcity rather than personal failing. The campaign period is described as dizzyingly short and insufficient to make her case. The Manhattan appearance coincided with the United Nations General Assembly and was interrupted four times by pro-Palestinian activists shouting "The blood of the Palestinians is on your hands." On one occasion, Harris rose, spoke of the Palestinians' unimaginable suffering, and attempted to silence the shouting.
