“O-prah! O-prah! O-prah!”

– Michelle Cottle

Welcome to Opinion’s commentary for Night 3 of the Democratic National Convention. In this special feature, Times Opinion writers rate the evening on a scale of 0 to 10: 0 means the night was a disaster for Kamala Harris; 10 means it could lead to a big polling bump. Here’s what our columnists and contributors thought of the event, which included speeches by Oprah Winfrey, Josh Shapiro, Bill Clinton and Tim Walz.

Kristen Soltis Anderson, contributing Opinion writer Younger voters may not realize how powerful Oprah Winfrey is as a voice. I wrote about this in May, and her speech tonight targeted precisely the voters both sides hope to persuade this year.

Binyamin Appelbaum, member of the editorial board Oprah.

Charles M. Blow, Times columnist Tim Walz’s intense, locker-room-pep-talk-style acceptance speech.
