PARIS — A five-day trip intended to burnish Vice President Kamala Harris’s credentials on the global stage and soothe relations with America’s oldest ally instead went off without much notice as she faces new scrutiny about her future as a Democratic leader.

French media coverage of Harris’s visit was sparse and evidence of “Kamala-mania,” a term coined by one top development executive in town for a forum in which the vice president was the featured speaker, was hard to find. There were no local media interviews with Harris.
