YESTERDAY’S MAN

08/18/24

The day that Joe Biden decided to step aside from the presidential campaign and endorse Kamala Harris I was texting with some friends who were celebrating this development. I said at the time that the emergence of Harris as a presidential candidate had just turned Donald Trump into ‘Yesterday’s Man’.

Events subsequent to that day have reinforced my observation. The playing field has been redefined and Trump has been unable to meet Harris on an equal footing. Whether this will result in an election day win for Harris remains uncertain. Certainly the signs are looking good for her.

There is no doubt that Donald Trump does not connect with the electoral constituency that supports Kamala Harris. Surprisingly to me there is still a significant portion of the US population that does support him. If Harris can continue to create enthusiasm among her supporters, steadily continue to build her base and avoid major campaign mistakes, she will be the next President of the United States. We can only hope!

Donald Trump is indeed ‘Yesterday’s Man’ and many, many people, like me, do not want him as the leader of the free world.
