IT IS BAD kind to be dour, doubting or dissenting at a coronation. And Democrats are a well-behaved lot. On July twenty first President Joe Biden deserted his bid for re-election, lower than a month earlier than he was to be formally nominated on the get together’s conference in Chicago. Sooner or later later, his anointed successor, Vice-President Kamala Harris, had secured the spot earlier than any simulacrum of a contest might even start. Mr Biden transferred his entire marketing campaign infrastructure instantly; his marketing campaign renamed itself “Harris for President” inside hours. Her mooted opponents went prostrate: each sitting Democratic governor had endorsed her inside a day.
