killing. Her record as a prosecutor was held against her. And then Biden said it had to be a black woman. Game over.

It is also true, isn't it, that Minnesota politicians by and large don't travel well nationally? Lack of charisma? I don't know.

Lack of charisma/a bit chilly in person and no traction with the black vote. I agree, BLM killed her and probably cost Biden at the margin in the election. Then it got us Harris.

My bigger point is that Kamala is so inept politically that I bet she'd fall apart in a contested primary even as the sitting VP. If she looked good and won it'd change perceptions of her.
