Kamala Harris repeating Biden’s mistakes?

Vice President Kamala Harris “risks raising the stakes” of the debate, as the Washington Examiner’s Sarah Bedford put it, by placing such a focus on her debate performance. Without any other media performances to compare it to, bar her recently announced joint interview with Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) on CNN tonight, her handling of former President Donald Trump and the moderators’ questions will be under intense scrutiny.

Harris’s fast-paced ascension and nomination to the top of the Democratic ticket have meant the public has not had the time frame typical in elections to vet the candidate fully. Her policies, many of which she has flip-flopped on since becoming the Democratic nominee — such as fracking, a single-payer healthcare system, mandatory buyback programs, and, recently, the border wall — are still unclear even after four days of Democratic National Convention speeches by party leaders.
