Vice President Kamala Harris walks to board Air Force Two in Morrisville, N.C., Aug. 16, 2024. “For one thing, Harris actually outlined her economic proposals, rather than veering off onto topics like who has the biggest crowds and how windmills are killing birds. For another, she doesn’t seem to have said anything demonstrably untrue — a sharp contrast with Trump, who lied or distorted the facts about twice per minute during an event at Mar-a-Lago,” writes The New York Times columnist Paul Krugman.
