Will Dems Let Harris Run to the Middle? | Opinion

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

70% : In President Joe Biden's final week in the race, he was running more than 2 points behind Trump in an average of good, national polls.
52% : Trump had that leeway from his own base, but squandered it on a boutique pick that delighted a subset of his core supporters, but does nothing with the voters Trump needs in order to win.
49% : Overall, Trump and his allies are outspending Harris' team 25-to-1 on television and radio advertising - more than $68 million for Republicans compared to just $2.6 million for Democrats - in the period that began on Monday, the day after Biden stepped aside, through the end of August.
46% : On the other hand, one could argue that the lesson of King Lear is 'cling to power as long as you can, so your heirs can't betray you' as The Fool says in Act I Scene IV, 'When thou clovest thy crown i' th' middle, and gavest away both parts, thou borest thy ass o' th' back o'er the dirt.
