LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Candidates offer stark contrast

The selection of Kamala Harris to be Joe Biden’s running mate highlights the demise of the Trump administration.

On all fronts, the comparison could not be more clear. We have a president with no compassion, which is even acknowledged by Republicans, running against a man known for compassion and kindness. We have a corrupt president now facing a highly successful former attorney general.

We have a president who has proven unable to work with Congress now facing two successful senators.

We have a Democratic candidate and his running mate, both successful in helping the country out of a bad recession, facing a president and vice president who could not mount a national defense against a pandemic and who therefore failed to keep the country out of terrible economic catastrophe.

Finally, we have a Democratic ticket that will be extremely popular to minority voters versus a president who has exposed his own racism, and a woman on a ticket who will run opposite a known misogynist.
