Kamala Harris benefiting from ‘shiny new syndrome’ in the presidential election

National Fallen Officer Foundation President Dr Tre Peenie discusses Kamala Harris’ strong start to her presidential campaign.

“We always count on this empathy vote on the Republican side, we know that they’ll turn out for like Barack Obama, there was something new and energising, people wanted to see it happen.”

“You throw in something new; it’s a shiny new object. I’m just hoping that the little time we have before the election is enough time … for the shiny new syndrome to wear off.”
