Three things we learned from Kamala Harris' short-lived presidential campaign by writerknowles
Welcome to 2020 Vision, the Yahoo News column covering the presidential race with one key takeaway every weekday and a wrap-up each weekend. Reminder: There are 62 days until the Iowa caucuses and 336 days until the 2020 election.
Although Harris was initially regarded as a top-tier candidate, her swift exit from the race months before the first ballots were cast has invited speculation about what went wrong. Three factors stand out as contributing to her failed presidential bid. Harris’s record in law enforcement might have served her well in the general election, appealing to centrist Democrats, independents and even some law-and-order Republicans. For progressives, however, it was an uncomfortable fit. They claimed she hadn’t worked hard enough to reform the criminal justice system, and despite her slogan’s populist slant, she was viewed by many as a cop.
While adding that she didn’t believe Biden to be “a racist,” she relayed her personal experience of being bused to Thousand Oaks Elementary School in Berkeley, Calif. The need for a strategyAs the race progressed through the summer and into fall, Harris continued to lean on her experience as a former prosecutor. She took to repeating her claim that she would “prosecute the case” against Donald Trump. While that may have been metaphoric, it was also confusing in the context of the release of former special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 election and the impeachment inquiry in the House.
