As a presidential candidate, Sen. Harris -- a lawyer -- struggled to present a clear case: ANALYSIS.
Kamala Harris was elected to the Senate the same day President Donald Trump won the White House. As soon as she got to Washington, there was buzz she would likely run to take him on in 2020.
Harris' campaign launch was easily one of the strongest this cycle. The impressive Oakland, California, crowd, the commanding speech and the coordinated rollout had all the markings of a team in tiptop shape and a candidate who knew what she was doing. The prospects of her winning her home state -- as many candidates are expected to do -- left her at the top of political number-crunchers' lists.
After first signing on to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders'"Medicare for All" legislation in Congress, she tripped and stumbled when trying to walk back her support of the bill. Then, at the first Democratic debate in June, she raised her hand to a question about who would be comfortable eliminating private insurance. She backtracked after the fact, said she misunderstood the question, and promised to put out a plan of her own.
When she was asked about a controversial statement from Sanders -- that incarcerated felons should be able to vote -- she said,"I think we should have that conversation" and added,"I'm going to talk to experts and I'm going to make a decision and I will let you know."
