Vice President Kamala Harris is not a moderate.
GovTrack’s scorecard ranked her as the most radical senator in 2019, further left than socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and leading writers of the New York Times rated Harris as the least electable of ten possible Democrat nominees.
It is unlikely Harris will campaign on her record. Her policies are unlikely to resonate with voters in swing states or overcome objections about voters’ diminished standard of living under the Biden-Harris administration.
A majority of voters (51 percent) believe their financial position is worse off under the Biden-Harris administration’s economic policies, a Financial Times/Michigan Ross poll found in May.
Harris championed the administration’s record of policy blunders on Monday in her first appearance since jumping into the Democrat primary race.
