This week’s Democratic National Convention has been all about good vibes — and heartening displays of unity from all kinds of Jewish speakers, including Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and Israeli-American hostage parents Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg-Polin.
All that buzz has been building to one historic speech: Vice President Kamala Harris’ address, tonight, accepting the Democratic presidential nomination. Harris will be the Democrats’ second Black nominee, second female nominee, and first-ever nominee of South Asian descent.
What does this historic moment mean for American Jews — those who plan to vote for Harris come November, and those who remain unconvinced? We’ve been publishing perspectives on her candidacy, and in-depth examinations of her positions on Jewish issues, since President Joe Biden endorsed her run after dropping out of the race in late July.
