Kamala Harris, the likely Democratic presidential nominee, is navigating the complexities of building a voter coalition in critical areas as questions about Joe Biden's health loom. In a recent opinion piece by Paul Mason in The New European, it is suggested that Harris can draw valuable lessons from Keir Starmer's approach to counter Donald Trump. Mason emphasizes Harris's need to focus on economic growth and storytelling to connect emotionally with voters, mirroring Starmer's strategy in the UK [c9c911fa].

In a related development, senior Labour Party figures, including Jonathan Ashworth and David Evans, are set to travel to the US to attend the Democratic National Congress in Chicago. Their goal is to share campaign strategies with Harris's team, particularly focusing on migration and green policies. Ashworth, who leads Labour Together, aims to learn from international campaigns to help Labour secure a second term in the next general election. He noted that the transition from Biden to Harris has significantly altered the political landscape [94cd3eac].

On August 19, 2024, Tim Walz praised Harris for infusing joy into her campaign, contrasting it with Biden's earlier candidacy, which was marked by economic pessimism despite the creation of 15 million new jobs. This sentiment is echoed in Steven Fielding's analysis in The Spectator, where he argues that Starmer's Labour government struggles to communicate joy and optimism, often focusing on competence and policy instead. Fielding points out that Labour's recent electoral victory was narrow, and skepticism surrounds Starmer's economic growth plans. He contends that embracing emotions like joy is essential for Labour to effectively counter right-wing populism and resonate with voters [9149d26d].
