Kamala Harris is a lifelong liberal with a health care platform to the left of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton combined.

Gene Healy The other week, I did some get-off-my lawn grumbling about “libertarians these days.” When Donald Trump came down that escalator, I suggested, he didn’t just scramble everyone else’s brain: he took up rent-free residence in the libertarian mind as well.

After an interminable delay, President Joe Biden finally took the stage Monday on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention, declaring that ‘democracy has prevailed.’ Ironically, he handed his party’s nomination to Kamala Harris, a candidate who had earned precisely zero votes – and whose previous bid for the White House imploded well before the first votes were cast. ...
