Shankar,

Excellent piece.

Of the final three, Tim Walz is the best communicator. Something Harris needs because her skills are poor to middling.

Buttigieg may have been preferable because of his enviable communication skills, but of age and stride into the future.

Harris needs all the help because she is no extraordinary candidate. She has not given a press conference or interview since Biden's departure.

I invite you to read my take, "Is Kamala Harris More than Cosmetic?"

Best.
