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.
