Vice President Kamala Harris has moved swiftly to secure support for the Democratic nomination for president, earning endorsements from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senator Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Christopher Faricy, professor of political science and director of the Campbell Public Affairs Institute, weighs in.

“It sounds like they are going full force into campaign mode and are trying to play up the prosecutor versus the felon, the future versus the past, so you're starting to see some themes emerge,” says Faricy.

“I think she's a prosecutor at heart. If you go back and parse some of her speeches, where she does the best is when she is prosecuting a case, whether it be in the Senate when she was cross-examining witnesses, or when she's out on the stump talking about women's reproductive rights,” Faricy says.

“So I think that's her natural element. When she's talking about things such as the spirit of democracy, that rhetoric maybe falls a little flatter. But when she's prosecuting a case, or having to go one on one with someone, there's no one better,” he says.
