For now, former president Trump and Vice-President Harris are not only on opposing sides, but also occupying different realms of political space.
Harris, either by design or happenstance, has taken a page from the lofty ethereal and elevated positioning of former president Barack Obama’s groundbreaking 2008 campaign. A campaign that moves to inspire young people; galvanize the politically ambivalent; and motivate the moribund.
Trump, on the other hand, grounded in a reality permeated by fear; wrought with cynicism; and distrusting of the existing system of checks and balances. This is the fight being waged and the electorate is now, finally vested. For this is not just a fight for control or for change but more importantly, it is a fight for destiny.
