Reuters reported last week that, in response to “Democratic anxieties rise over [President Trump] making strong gains[,]” Vice President Kamala Harris “is shifting her campaign strategy to win over more men [‘of all races’] and Republicans.” Therefore, “Harris is going back to her prosecutorial posture of July … to demonstrate strength to [counter] Trump’s strongman image.”

In fact, in July, Roll Call forecasted that Harris’s presidential campaign “will echo her time in the Senate, where she carved out an opposition to [Trump] with a prosecutorial bent[,]” by “leverag[ing] her experience as a prosecutor and California attorney general for her positions on criminal justice matters and an assertive courtroom style to create some of her most high-profile moments in the Senate, scrapping with Trump administration officials and nominees to make bigger points.”
