And joining me from Chicago is Julius van de Laar, US election campaign expert and campaigns and strategy consultant. Good morning! Good morning Harris has now brought a breath of fresh air into the US presidential election campaign. But what does it actually have to deliver in Chicago so that this momentum doesn't die down? I think first she has to make it clear who she is and what she stands for. At the moment, Kamala Harris is still completely undefined in large parts of the public. There's a new poll that came out this weekend that says 36% of Americans say we don't know anything. We don't know what their values are. We also don't know what the policy is, i.e. what it actually wants to implement. And I think there is of course a gigantic opportunity for the Democrats to prevail for four days, to have complete media attention and of course with a stage that cost a total of $100 million. This entire party conference, to put out a message and say what does she stand for, who is she and what does she want to do in the next four years? Should she be elected? Yes, not much has been known about their economic policy so far. Just some. But this is already met with criticism. Is Kamala Harris' program actually too left-wing? I think it was foreseeable that criticism would come first . Should Donald Trump do something else? The same would happen to Donald Trump if he published a program. I think it's helpful to say little for Kamala Harris. And I'm not saying that as someone who isn't interested in politics, but simply from a strategic perspective, to take the wind out of it for now, not to publish too many details and to keep the candidacy vague. Of course, this helps me to maintain the momentum and not to offer too much attack surface. But of course she won't get around to publishing more and more details at some point. As a reminder, a presidential election campaign normally takes almost two years. Kamala Harris has now been running for office for almost 30 days and so of course you have to give her a little space to work out the program. And I assume that in the days after this party conference we will hear more and more about what she wants to implement. We've already heard it from Donald Trump's campaign team. That reacted very nervously and still reacts very tensely. So what strategy will the Republican use to continue to react against Harris? So pure bullying and attacks. I think there are two ways to go about it. One is exactly what you just called mobbing. Today to say that they are all communists or radical leftists or they are clueless or she has a funny name or she is like that! These are all possibilities that you can do. I think the more effective strategy really is to confront Kamala Harris on the economy, even though inflation rates have come down in the last week. Americans are still feeling, as we hear everywhere here, how high prices are, especially for food. If you just look at it, they're paying 25% more than they paid under Donald Trump. And I think that's a message that Trump really continually hammers home every time. I think he still really has a chance of winning this election. I think when he gets lost in the little things, like I said, he romanticizes with some nicknames. I don't think it's the successful course. And the question is simple: In these remaining 80 days, can Donald Trump zero in on making this economic argument again and again? Again, to back that up. If you ask people what is the absolute most important issue for you in this election campaign, Americans will say the economy, followed closely by inflation. So if you put the two together, you just have the absolute main theme. And me I think Trump still has a lead here. If you ask people who do you think is more likely to strengthen the economy, they lead with ten points. And he has to expand this lead . In any case. He has to make sure that it doesn't get worse. You will of course be watching this Chicago Democratic Convention closely and we will be talking again and again in the coming days. Thanks for the moment to Chicago. Greetings to you!
