Kamala Harris' record

Vice President Kamala Harris has emerged as the presumptive Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election following President Biden's withdrawal, but her record is already being weaponized by Republicans to target vulnerable House Democrats. The National Republican Campaign Committee is focusing on Harris’s controversial stances, particularly on fracking in Pennsylvania and immigration policy, framing her as a liability for Democrats in swing districts. Despite GOP criticisms, an immigration advocacy group expressed confidence in Harris’s ability to address these issues effectively, highlighting her experience as California's Attorney General. Democrats hope Harris can shift the narrative away from Biden's weaknesses and capitalize on Trump’s vulnerabilities, particularly regarding abortion rights and character. In her campaign launch, Harris emphasized her prosecutorial background and contrasted it with Trump’s legal troubles, positioning her candidacy as a fight for a more equitable future. However, Republicans are prepared to continue leveraging her association with Biden’s unpopular policies to challenge her viability as a candidate.
