It happened. Joe Biden has stepped down from the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris as the next Democratic candidate. Both moves are good decisions; over the past few weeks Biden’s poll numbers have plummeted, while Harris’s have steadily risen. The chaos of an open convention is not something most Democrats want, and I expect the party will quickly rally around Harris. But while the change puts an end to the suspense, it doesn’t yet solve a major issue for Democrats: how to lock in working-class voters in November.
事情發生了。喬•拜登(Joe Biden)退出了總統競選，轉而支持卡瑪拉•哈里斯（Kamala Harris，漢名賀錦麗）成爲民主黨的下一個總統候選人。這兩個決定都很好；過去幾周裏，拜登在民調中支持率大跌，而哈里斯的支持率穩步上升。大多數民主黨人都不想看到公開舉行的黨代會亂糟糟收場，而我預計，該黨很快將團結在哈里斯身邊。但是，雖然說這個變動讓局面不再懸著，民主黨人的一個重大問題卻還是沒有解決，那就是如何在11月大選中穩住工人階級選民。
