Kamala Harris is one of the most Vetted of the Primary Candidates

Joe BIden also continues to get vetted but he has an advantage in having been in public office for so long and a recent Vice President so people already know him and criticisms and attacks don't hurt him as much.

but Harris has been vetted more than anyone else of the top candidates. i'm not saying she would be doing better otherwise and i do think she made some bad strategic moves.

but what if others were held to the same standard and had to go through the vetting she has ? would they be able to hold up ?

has, but as a more nationally known, longer known figure.

I am actually perplexed by her drop. I thought her debate tactic was a poor choice first time, but I see integrity. It takes a heck of a lot to go inside the system, as she has, and as a black woman, to change it. Also she doesn’t make promises she can’t possibly deliver on.

Also think her glamor might be held against her.
