I think the word I’ve heard most this week—more than Harris, Trump, or Democrats—is vibes. People say how good the vibes are, ask how the vibes seem, ruminate on how the vibes have shifted since Kamala Harris became the de facto nominee one month ago. “And so on behalf of the people; on behalf of every American, regardless of party, race, gender, or the language your grandmother speaks; on behalf of my mother and everyone who has ever set out on their own unlikely journey; on behalf of Americans like the people I grew up with, people who work hard, chase their dreams, and look out for one another; on behalf of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on Earth, I accept your nomination to be president of the United States of America.”
