Thanks! I still think it's a statement by her campaign and not her, but I guess that's splitting hairs.

Technically it's signed Harris Walz.

Technically it has their campaign logo on it. ;) Yeah I know I'm being annoying. Obviously this statement is associated with her and the campaign in an official manner. It just doesn't have the polish I would expect from a politician's official statement. That's all. I'm probably reading too much into it.

I think it's a huge part of the Democrats' collective messaging, which they really sucked at previously. They're very purposely ratcheting up from their Ben Stein levels of excitement, and I think it's resonating with people.

There’s a comment in this thread commending the casual, non-robotic tone of the messaging.

Such a low bar, right?

I think that's an intentional choice by her campaign. I've seen other stuff by KamalaHQ that has the same tone. It's smart. More relatable is better.
