Kamala Harris and her fellow Democrats really want you to know that the vice president rose up the political ranks from her start as a hard-nosed prosecutor.
Her party’s nominating convention hammered the theme home in speeches from her allies in biographical video packages featuring the candidate bearing down on criminals as California’s attorney general. In her acceptance speech, Harris previewed her intention to wield her background as a cudgel against Donald Trump, who “was found guilty of fraud by a jury of everyday Americans” and “separately found liable for committing sexual abuse.” In her first (long-awaited) interview with a major network, Harris talked up her status as the “only person in this race who prosecuted transnational criminal organizations who traffic in guns, drugs, and human beings.”
