How Harris is preparing to contrast her record as a prosecutor with Trump’s as a felon
Kamala Harris has spent much more of her life as a prosecutor than as a senator or vice president – and that is exactly how she is now going to run against Donald Trump.
Kamala Harris, the current vice president of the United States, is preparing to run for president against Donald Trump, leveraging her extensive experience as a prosecutor to position herself as a strong, intelligent, and tough commander-in-chief. Harris, a former district attorney and attorney general, plans to focus her campaign on contrasting her background with Trump's legal troubles, emphasizing her ability to hold convicted felons accountable and fight for the American people.
Harris's supporters, including Senator Elizabeth Warren and Reproductive Freedom for All president Mini Timmaraju, highlight her success in taking on tough cases and tough characters like Trump. They believe that her experience as a prosecutor will not only showcase her life story but also portray her as a fighter for the American people, in contrast to Trump's self-serving agenda. Harris's campaign strategy will echo her 2020 presidential campaign, where she emphasized her role as a "prosecutor for the people."
The article also delves into Harris's careful navigation during the past three weeks as Biden deliberated his reelection bid. It highlights her sensitivity to potential slights due to her identity as a woman of color and the anticipation of vicious attacks and subconscious racism and sexism during her candidacy. Harris's supporters believe that her historic candidacy will drive enthusiasm from the Democratic base and boost engagement among women, especially on the issue of abortion.
However, there are concerns about Harris's ability to win, as she has lagged behind Trump in polls. Some worry that a potential loss could unfairly place blame on Harris and Black women. Nonetheless, her supporters, such as Laphonza Butler, believe that her experience as vice president and Trump's legal woes present a different scenario from her previous campaign. They are confident in her ability to prosecute the case against Trump effectively.
The article concludes by noting that an abbreviated campaign may benefit Harris, who excels under pressure and has the support of progressive leaders. A House Democrat in a Trump-won district urges Harris to run as someone who does the right thing, takes on crime, and transcends "woke" progressive ideologies. Harris's unique profile and experience are seen as advantageous, and her supporters are eager to see her prosecute the case against Trump on the national stage.
