Vice-President Kamala Harris ’s presidential campaign has shifted the conversation away from the weaknesses of her boss, President Joe Biden , and shone a spotlight on her opponent, Donald Trump .

The change of tone was on full display at rallies this week , where she appeared with her new vice-presidential pick, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz .

Some political consultants marveled at the weird’ label’s effectiveness.

Many said it broke through because it felt authentic, was not an audience-tested catchphrase or cliche.

But Republican pollster Frank Luntz was more sceptical, saying it didn't resonate with voters.
