Topics
Brooke Gladstone和Michael Ellinger：报道了民主党总统候选人变更引发的争议，以及民主党基层对卡马拉·哈里斯的积极回应和右翼的强烈反对。 Kat Abugazaleh：分析了右翼媒体对卡马拉·哈里斯的攻击策略，指出其缺乏长期规划和协调性，主要集中在对其个人的负面刻画，而非其政治立场。她认为，右翼媒体对女性政治人物的刻画模式存在两种极端：非性化或过度性化。 Jamilah King：回顾了卡马拉·哈里斯的政治生涯，探讨了她如何在旧金山等自由派城市中平衡不同社群的政治立场，以及她如何应对媒体的负面报道。她认为，哈里斯并非激进的进步派，而是务实的温和派民主党人。 Ezra Klein：解释了他为何在拜登总统竞选早期就建议其退出竞选，并分析了媒体在报道拜登年龄问题上的作用。他认为，媒体对拜登年龄的关注并非完全不当，但同时也应关注竞选的政策层面。
