Is Kamala Harris a Stronger Candidate Than Biden? – WSJ

GREENSBORO, N.C. In the background of President Biden s decision on whether to continue his campaign against Donald Trump sits another crucial question: Would Kamala Harris do any better?

Some Democratic lawmakers and donors have long fretted over Harris s potential political weaknesses, citing the rocky start to her tenure as vice president and the shortcomings of her own 2020 presidential bid. Now those vulnerabilities are under an intense spotlight, even as her poll numbers have improved and she is increasingly seen as a viable alternative to the 81-year-old incumbent. 

Democratic lawmakers, strategists, county chairs and donors say they are hearing more support and praise for Harris than ever before. Even if Biden doesn t bow out of the race, party leaders are pushing the campaign to elevate Harris more to counter concerns about his age and ability to effectively make the case against the 78-year-old Trump. 

Several Democrats also acknowledged lingering concern about whether she would be able to withstand intensified attacks from the GOP in either scenario. 

Some Democratic voters at a Harris stop in North Carolina on Thursday shared those fears.

My money is with Vivek Ramaswamy who says that Biden will not be the nominee and that Kamala or Michele will be. And that Trump has a tough run ahead of him. And a late switch makes sense tactically. It will be strange and the whole thing is a threat to our democracy. No, really. I’m not kidding. Really.
