What im confused about, as a non American, is how Tim seems to have overshadowed Harris. I heard about Tim way more than Harris. Is it sexist? Is it just that his more charismatic? I’ve never seen so much press about a vice president candidate before.
Traditionally the VP is the person that goes on the attack so the Presidential candidate can be above that… and be presidential.
Trump flipped it since he has nothing except for making childish attacks. But that’s not actually the norm.
Social media has a tendency to elevate people going on the attack, so Walz doing the normal VP stuff is being elevated more than Harris is staying above it for the most part.

Was Harris on the attack during Biden’s first campaign?
Sure. But Trump was kinda sucking all the air out of the room, so no one saw it.
Based on their DNC speeches, Waltz is a much better public speaker than Harris.
it’s also mere novelty, as harris has been the vice president for years now
I’ve literally never heard of Harris doing anything before being nominated. There’s no comparison.
