Kamala Harris has a very different theory of this election than Joe Biden did.
In 2020, and then again in 2024, Biden ceded the battle for attention to Donald Trump.
Trump wanted the election to be about Donald Trump, and Joe Biden wanted the election to be about Donald Trump.
In 2020, when Trump was the unpopular incumbent, that strategy worked for Biden.
Harris has been able to do what Biden could or would not: fight — and win — the battle for attention.
