If very few, then the task is to persuade undecided voters and of course to GOTV among likely Democratic voters.

Without a doubt, the Harris campaign has to offer popular policies and a positive vision for the future.

But the campaign should not shy away from pointing out the negative consequences of another Trump presidency -- not just Project 2025, but the threat he poses to democracy and his egregious character flaws.
