Despite her recent surge, Harris's path to the nomination doesn’t leave much room for error
Kamala Harris’s fine first debate performance was just a good start on a long path. Photo: Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty Images It’s a grand thing to be Kamala Harris right now. She is basking in the near-universal feeling that she was the star of Thursday’s second Democratic primary debate, probably even overshadowing first-night champ Elizabeth Warren. My colleague Jonathan Chait’s judgment that she is about to join the top tier of candidates sounds entirely plausible.
Aside from her overall performance, the most important step she took in the first debate was to challenge — very directly — Joe Biden’s grip on the black voters she’ll need in South Carolina and beyond. If that doesn’t happen right away, it won’t be the first time others have underestimated Biden’s strength in that demographic.
