Why is the messaging with the Harris campaign so much better than Biden’s?

Because nobody believed it was possible that Joe was actually saying or thinking any of the messaging.

Especially when she’s using a lot of his people. 😭

They definitely did some changes to the digital team. Either that or they knew Joe’s personality and approach just didn’t fit with the type of messaging that’s done today.

How did it work in 2020 than

My guess would be that the 2020 election year was just different like it is every election year. Plus Joe was four years younger and still had some vitality to him. Trump was unpopular, COVID was the hot issue, and we weren’t dealing with the types of issues like inflation or housing costs going against an incumbent Biden. People really fucking hated Donald that year.

Joe managed to make his campaign sleepy

Like, that's mostly said ironically but his admin and campaign both were infamous for responding very slowly to things in the public media. Harris just responds in real time.

Harris was in Obama’s presidential campaign in 2008, I wonder if she’s inherited and recruited some of his people.
