We Shouldn't Have Expected Much From Harris

The thing about Harris, is that she's never really needed to work very hard: Her parents were both extremely intelligent and she probably could have gotten into a highly selective school. Instead she chose Howard; a decent school, but it isn't Berkeley or Stanford. For law school, same thing.

In California, getting nominated as a Democrat ensures you will win, so she never had to work at developing political skills.

Harris floundered in the Democratic primary but was chosen by Biden, who promised an African American woman.

Having never learned political skills or the habit of hard work, it would have been shocking for Harris to have suddenly developed these things.
