Day 1,870: halting, rile, astronaut, awry, recrimination

Mr Biden’s halting delivery, her words were full of vitality.

Mark Kelly, a senator from Arizona, another battleground state, would also add to the ticket—and it would rile Mr Trump to face an ex-astronaut.

If her campaign starts to go awry, recriminations about her uncontested nomination will soon follow.

Can Kamala Harris win?
