The Kamala Coronation | See How They Run
The Nation is back from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago—and, judging from what we saw this week, most Democrats couldn't be happier with Kamala Harris or the state of their party.
Most, but not all. Even as Harris and a string of top Democrats rode the waves of jubilation coming off the floor of the United Center, activists and delegates from the Uncommitted movement were doing everything they could to keep the issue of Gaza on the agenda.
So what did the convention say about how Democrats see the race ahead? Did Harris pull off her reintroduction to the American people?
On this episode of See How They Run, we're joined by Nation national affairs correspondent John Nichols to discuss all that and more.

Most, but not all. Even as Harris and a string of top Democrats rode the waves of jubilation coming off the floor of the United Center, activists and delegates from the Uncommitted movement were doing everything they could to keep the issue of Gaza on the agenda. The DNC’s decision to reject their calls for a Palestinian American to speak at the convention made for a bleak counterpoint to the festivities.
So what did the convention say about how Democrats see the race ahead? Did Harris pull off her reintroduction to the American people? Where does the Uncommitted movement go from here? And, as we hurtle toward Election Day, how long will the good vibes last?
We’re joined by Nation national affairs correspondent John Nichols to discuss all that and more in this week’s episode of See How They Run.

Become a Sustaining Donor This September
Between the reemergence of right-wing red-baiting and Donald Trump’s use of the chilling National Security Presidential Memorandum–7 to criminalize left political organizing, we’re seeing McCarthyism reborn before our eyes.
This assault on democracy cannot be ignored or wished away. Resisting it requires bravery in the face of threats and repression, a steadfast commitment to the truth, and the unwavering belief that we can—and will—overcome this darkness.
We must have an independent media that sets the record straight, unearths corruption and abuses of power, and advances a politics of justice and dignity for all if we’re to win this fight.
That’s why I’m writing to you today. This September, The Nation needs to add 100 monthly donors to sustain our progressive journalism. Your contribution makes the next investigative report, the next truth-speaking column, and the next pathbreaking essay all possible.
I hope you’ll support our work with a recurring donation today. If you donate $10 or more a month, we’ll send you a brand new “Hands Off the Free Press!” sticker to recognise your commitment to our cause. Please, donate today.
Onward,
Katrina vanden Heuvel
