Joe Biden and the riddle of Kamala Harris
拜登和「神祕」的卡瑪拉•哈里斯

Donald Trump can paint his rival’s vice-presidential pick as an unknown quantity who would steer the White House
加內什:拜登和卡瑪拉•哈里斯的搭檔將令川普生畏,但這一組合並非無往不勝,部分原因在於卡瑪拉•哈里斯立場的模糊性。

Joe Biden is not 77 in the way that Mick Jagger is 77. The Democratic candidate for the White House wears the years with a heaviness that is not lost even on his enthusiasts. While he never rules out a second term, this avowed “bridge” to the next generation implies just the one. With its lack of travel and live events, this Covid-19 election campaign, The Campaign That Isn’t, has spared him. The grandest public office in the world will not.

喬•拜登(Joe Biden)的77歲跟米克•傑格(Mick Jagger)的77歲不是一回事。歲月在這位民主黨總統候選人身上留下了濃重的痕跡,即便是他的熱情支持者也無法不注意到這點。儘管他從未排除競選連任的可能性,但他充當「橋樑」的誓言暗示他只會擔任一屆總統。新型冠狀病毒肺炎(COVID-19,即2019冠狀病毒病)疫情下沒有巡迴競選活動和現場集會的這場「空有其名的競選(The Campaign That Isn’t)」放了他一馬。而全球最高公職是不會放過他的。
