Vice President Kamala Harris’ so-called “honeymoon” period is coming to an end after a crucial week after she became the Democratic Party’s de facto nominee without winning a single vote in a presidential primary during her infamous political career.
Harris will now have to defend her far-left record, the failures of the Biden-Harris administration and pressure from the media to grant one-on-one interviews.
“Harris and the emerging campaign’s brain trust share the view that a stabilizing electorate and a fractured media environment will make it difficult to fundamentally change the race,” Politico Playbook said. report Monday:

It will be hard for Harris to break through the noise in a positive way.
Harris made numerous gaffes as vice president. Avoided Harris has shunned the press and has not given a single one-on-one interview with the media since becoming the de facto candidate. Her far-left record has never been disputed on the record, a sign that she may not be the front-runner to succeed President Joe Biden.
So far, the media has praised Harris’ candidacy in the wake of Democratic concerns about Biden’s political viability, but Harris will have to convince voters, not the media, of her viability as president.
Only 39% of registered independents said Harris was “fit” to be president. economistA YouGov poll conducted last week found that of the 54% of registered voters who believe there was a cover-up of Biden’s health, 92% said Harris was at least somewhat involved in the cover-up.
Democrats have privately expressed concerns about Ms Harris’ candidacy, with one source familiar with the internal discussions saying: hill Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) has been “cold” about Harris being the nominee, a view that appears to be widespread among the party’s elite.
“She was not a great candidate,” the Democratic senator said. Said of hill Speaking about the 2020 presidential race, Sen. Harris, who dropped out of the race before the Iowa caucuses, said, “She may not be as good a political campaigner as Biden was in his prime.”
A third senator outlined the contradictions Harris would face: praising Biden and his administration while campaigning on Biden’s unpopular record and under attack for her own Senate record.
“She has to define herself,” the senator warned. “She doesn’t have the economic brand, but she has the ability. Biden has the track record.”
