    Harris ran for president in 2019 but did terribly in the first dem primary debate and dropped out early, fwiw. We’ll see what happens vs Trump.

      Trump is easier to debate for democrats who don’t care as much about decorum as Biden. A primary debate requires much more delicacy, because you can’t all out attack the others without potentially prejudicing voters against your party’s eventual nominee, should you lose.

      Biden did well in the latter scenario, because he’s very good at politicking. I think Harris would do better in the former because of her greater willingness to openly mock trump. Hopefully we get to see.

      Did she do terribly during the debate? I remember watching and thinking she seemed smart and articulate, but didn’t have the name recognition and backing to get very far in the primaries.

        She was a party favorite but Tulsi Gabbard called her out on her prosecutorial record and that ended her, I believe.

      Trump can’t run to her left like most of the 2020 Democratic field did.
