David Brooks: Kamala Harris Made a Major Mistake by Not Breaking with Biden

EXCERPT:

BROOKS: “I mean, her momentum has stalled. She was going, going up. Then she seemed to plateau, and I would say, if you look at the polling movement in the last week, Trump is doing slightly better, and I should emphasize slightly. And so he’s doing a lot better in the Sun Belt swing states. In the Industrial Midwest, he’s doing slightly better, but, again, very slight. And so you would have to think — you know, when I look at the results right now, where we are — and, of course, it could all change — I do think the decision not to pick Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania, we could look back on that as a major mistake. And, second, I think she made a mistake this week by not breaking with Joe Biden on a bunch of major issues. She was asked twice on two different shows, is anything really different? And she basically said no. And this is a country where, what, 28 percent think the country’s on the wrong track. Joe Biden has like a 41 percent approval. It seems to me elementary act of politics, ‘I’m my own person. This is how I would change.’”
