Astead Herndon：民主党人对大会的总体感受是如释重负，因为哈里斯展现出有效沟通能力和战胜特朗普的潜力。他们不仅庆祝哈里斯的政治崛起，也对赢得大选的机会感到乐观。 Maya King：哈里斯通过枪支暴力受害者的讲述，有效地利用了舞台制作，并强调了她本人对枪支暴力的关注和相关政策。Lucy McBath的个人经历及其在国会中的地位，代表了哈里斯试图争取的选民群体，包括黑人选民、关注枪支暴力的白人母亲等，并象征着民主党新一代领导人的崛起。民主党全国代表大会试图打破传统观念中特定族裔只关注特定议题的刻板印象，努力争取更广泛的选民支持。 Jennifer Medina：哈里斯在演讲中处理加沙战争问题的方式，试图在支持以色列自卫权和关注巴勒斯坦人困境之间取得平衡，以争取不同立场的选民。她成功地回应了选民对加沙局势的担忧，同时安抚了对以色列安全的担忧。这反映了她在处理复杂政治议题时，寻求在不同群体之间取得平衡的策略。
