In the end, Kamala Harris, for all of her impressive political skills, was doomed by two things: her inability to convince the African-American community that she was a winner; and her failure to define where she was on the ideological matrix. Was she an identity or a class politician? Was she a realo or a fundi? She ran a general election campaign in a primary, hoping that she could win votes from all sides. It might very well have worked against Trump, but it didn’t work against Biden or Warren.
Harris is still young, and she most likely isn’t done. She would balance a Biden ticket quite nicely, and the job might appeal to her, as Biden might choose not to run for reelection in 2024. Nothing she said about Biden during the debates, in my eyes, disqualified her for the job. Don’t be surprised if it happens.
