It's nuts to me that Harris hasn't been mentioned in the post-2020 portion of this thread. Proves how out of touch with reality this board is, with the ridiculous notion that she is electorally weak. Harris is unarguably the next Obama.
I don't find this to be a ridiculous notion. Just look at how she did in the presidential primaries, especially considering the fact that she was polling in second or third around May 2019.
I'm not sold on her myself but isn't this more just an issue of other candidates being far stronger? You can be the "least strong" candidate in one election and perform just fine in another one. Furthermore, she'll have served as the VP (or perhaps even be the President if she succeeds Biden), which is very different than being one of many Senators in a crowded field. We saw how Biden himself benefited from being Obama's VP in this election.
Not saying that this will definitely happen but it's a bit strange to immediately write her off as "weak" for a general Presidential election just because her state and primary election record weren't so hot, especially when she garnered some pretty strong enthusiasm over the past few months. They're not similar electorates.
