I think that would work for her. There’s way more minorities and centrists that would come out to vote for her because of Obama’s legacy than racists that would stay home out of spite IMO. I certainly don’t think she’ll be anything like Obama, but one could hope.
Probably not, she’s got the charisma of Hillary, and two strikes (race and gender) against her. But Biden is dragging the rest of the party down with him. With Harris we probably get a Trump presidency (we have at least a fighting chance to avoid it). But with Biden we get a Trump presidency, a landslide election giving him a “mandate” and assuredly a Republican House and Senate to go along with it. Sooo worth a shot with the old switcharoo I guess.
I really hope Harris can beat Trump.
As much as I hate it, I think there too much subconscious misogyny to try it. It’s a recipe for failure.
And racism. Can’t forget the racism!

Though racism is a factor, that doesn’t mean she isn’t also a bad candidate.
Aren’t all of the misogynists already voting for Trump? I think just being a younger woman candidate could energize the younger voting base.
Yeah it will energize, and they’ll be really confused on voting day when they find out they needed to register to vote.
I think voting should be mandatory, easier, and have an abstain option for those people who don’t want to choose.
I’m afraid a lot of older Dems just wouldn’t vote, it’s a low turnout that could be killer.
I don’t know if she really resonated with the younger voters that much, not like AOC for instance.
She can’t.
Whitmer maybe could. If she has a strong running mate.
Harris just isnt a good candidate.
Oh no you don’t. We’ve got Whitmer until the end of 2026. You can have her then and not a second sooner.
If SCOTUS keeps on this retro “states rights” bender, we’re just gonna make our own country. With blackjack. And great lakes.
The only thing Whitmer is good at is destroying state economies, and killing small businesses.
