Wall Street Journal: “Some Democratic lawmakers and donors have long fretted over Harris’s potential political weaknesses, citing the rocky start to her tenure as vice president and the shortcomings of her own 2020 presidential bid. Now those vulnerabilities are under an intense spotlight, even as her poll numbers have improved and she is increasingly seen as a viable alternative to the 81-year-old incumbent.”
“Democratic lawmakers, strategists, county chairs and donors say they are hearing more support and praise for Harris than ever before. Even if Biden doesn’t bow out of the race, party leaders are pushing the campaign to elevate Harris more to counter concerns about his age and ability to effectively make the case against the 78-year-old Trump.”
