If Harris wins, Trump will try to steal the election. His efforts have already begun. The immediate struggle will be to defend the votes of the people against Trump. Assuming that Harris does become president, the most likely first phase will be euphoria among "progressives" and bitter disappointment among young activists, especially those in solidarity with Palestine. Harris is likely to continue the Trump-lite policies of Biden, but what she does will in some measure depend on what happens in the congressional and senate races. She will be most comfortable with a divided government, but it is increasingly likely that the Democrats will take both houses. In that case, the Democrats will be faced with making good on some of her promises. To the extent that the Democrats do not, disappointment will spread from the solidarity movement to the progressives. What should we do? The left should push for demonstrations in defense of Palestine, and mobilize on every domestic issue on which the Democrats disappoint. More than this, the left should start to prepare to run as many independent candidates as possible in 2026 and 2028.
