I appreciate your thoughtful reply, but we just have very different perceptions of Harris. I followed her pretty closely during her 2019-2020 presidential campaign, and thought her performance as a candidate was very poor. She often seemed awkward and ill-prepared when responding to questions on issues, especially health care. And, although she is more tightly scripted as VP, she still seems to have tendency to make awkward gaffes in various situations
Maybe she could step up her game as a candidate in 2024, but the stakes are far too high for Democrats to take that risk in 2024.
