Read MoreThe debate for Vice President probably won’t move the needle for the Harris campaign, which leaves the race razor tight - and Democrats probably behind in the swing states that will determine the winner of the Electoral College.

Read MoreThe Democrats’ pro-union stance should help them regain their reputation as the party of working people.
