Re “In Closing, Harris Casts Herself as the Unifier and Trump as a ‘Petty Tyrant’” (news article, nytimes.com, Oct. 29):
Kamala Harris gave a magnificent speech at the Ellipse in Washington on Tuesday night. Not only was it was brilliantly crafted, she radiated confidence in her delivery. She was emphatic, forceful. She looked more assured than I have ever seen her.
I find it impossible to believe after this performance, in contrast to Donald Trump’s miserable circus at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, that she will not be elected. She looked like a winner, and politicians who look like winners strike chords with American voters and usually win.

Re “As Harris Courts Republicans, the Left Grows Wary and Alienated” (news article, Oct. 25):
In one sense, the left’s frustration that Vice President Kamala Harris is not all that it would want her to be policywise is understandable. For those voters, on some issues, foreign and domestic, she does fall short.
But on any of those issues, does former President Donald Trump offer a more acceptable alternative? Is he likely to bring the left closer to scoring successes? Certainly not. To think otherwise would be like still holding out for the Cleveland Guardians or the New York Mets to win the World Series.
But just as the real baseball world choice was between the Yankees and the Dodgers, the real presidential world choice is between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. And in that matchup, if the left sits on the bench instead of supporting Ms. Harris, then it’s our democratic republic that will have been struck out.

To the Editor:
I cannot, in good conscience, identify as a Democrat or a Republican. Although I lean slightly left, I also support many conservative policies. I consider myself to be a thoughtful voter and do my best to look past the noise and understand the actual issues. I’ve never voted for a person with whom I totally agreed on everything. There is always compromise.
