Who said it: Trump or Harris?
It is probably an understatement to say that the speeches during which each major party’s presidential candidate accepted their nominations differed dramatically.
Former president Donald Trump’s was long, often diverging from his prepared comments to offer a rambling aside about himself or his campaign. Vice President Kamala Harris’s, by contrast, was tightly crafted and delivered — and, thankfully for people staying up on the East Coast, relatively short.
You are by now probably broadly familiar with the rhythms and rhetoric of the two candidates (or, at least, one of them). As such, you should have no difficulty with the quiz below, in which you are presented with a series of quotes from the candidates’ speeches. Can you identify which candidate offered which sentiment?
Perhaps you found this quiz to be unexpectedly easy. That is probably less a function of our quote selections than it is of the wide difference in style between the two candidates.
It might also be the quote selection.
