The Democratic National Convention this week has been all razzle, dazzle and repetition. Endless platitudes about freedom, values, love, America, patriotism, hope, unity – ‘turning the page on Trump’ and ‘turning hate into hope’. The implicit message: don’t go thinking too hard about whether Kamala Harris could be a good president.

Away from the hype, though, people are wondering: what might America’s first woman commander-in-chief do in office? Some dared to believe Harris might tell us in her acceptance speech – the most significant moment of her political career.
