A very active Democratic National Convention told viewers very little. Vice President Kamala Harris has offered a very limited platform as yet, and so speakers backing her said equally as little of substance.
Seeing lots of performance and little substance is nothing new, but it is invariably entertaining. Take state Sen. Mallory McMorrow (D-MI) and her giant prop book of Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation policy book that Democrats have been relentlessly attacking. Her speech did nothing but comically perpetuate fears of the agenda that Republican opponent Donald Trump personally has disavowed. Nor did McMorrow seem to take the convention seriously enough to do research on the Supreme Court’s recent Trump v. U.S. decision and instead made the incorrect claim that the court leaves Trump “completely immune from prosecution.”
