got hold of a memo accidentally left by members of her campaign team in a restaurant in New Hampshire which referred to her campaign’s “summer slump.”The problem is less her debate performance than the muddled campaign she has run. Over the summer, she looked as if she could not decide whether she would win more votes as a progressive or moderate. That has led to some policy vacillations, most damagingly over health care.
Now, Ms Harris’s campaign appears to be making a final push to break through. On September 12th she will join ten candidates—from a field that is still 20-strong—for the third Democratic debate in Houston, Texas. Earlier in the week, she unveiled her plan for criminal justice reform.
The timing of the plan’s release is designed to sharpen Ms Harris’s message at a crucial moment. It should also give her an opportunity to tackle criticisms that during her previous career she did too little to challenge a criminal justice system that often discriminates against black and poor Americans. Her plan contains progressive proposals that contradict some of her earlier positions.
Ms Harris’s fresh focus on criminal-justice reform is also designed to appeal to African-American voters, who so far seem to prefer Mr Biden to her. His reputation as a loyal deputy to the first black president, Barack Obama, helps with that. Yet if black voters’ enthusiasm for Mr Biden fades, Ms Harris would stand a reasonable hope of gaining it.
On September 12th she will for the first time share the debate stage with all three candidates who are polling ahead of her. She is likely to say that she among them understands the need for criminal justice reform best. She will also try to return to her earlier pugnacious form. More important than any policy proposals is the perception of how the candidates would shape up in a duel against Mr Trump. A lingering suspicion that she might shape up well may be her strongest advantage.
She is going to outlaw Law Enforcement! Brave plan.
No. She’s too much a corporate Dem. we want Progressives. She would be a great AG.
It may prove to be a bit too little too late; Kamala's main problem is that she is trying to play both sides of the fence!
She either doesnt know who she is or she does and she's not telling the truth. Either way, she is not likeable.
Nope ... stay in the Senate.
KamalaHarris should have worked with realDonaldTrump when she had the chance
Keep digging
It’s titled F them, then F them some more because she’s a demigod
she should probably run away from 'criminal justice.'
