Vice President Kamala Harris is having the best week of her political career, met by exaltation everywhere she goes.
Long a presidential hopeful, Harris has never felt so loved by Democrats. After they spent weeks tearing their hair out over Biden’s stumbles and frail appearance, the telegenic 59-year-old is riding high on the clear contrast with her boss—even turning the tables and painting Donald Trump as a crazy old criminal.
She has fired up those were feeling ho-hum about November: young people, women and voters of color. Charli XCX has deemed her “brat.” Beyoncé let her use her track Freedom for the Harris campaign. Even her step-daughter is an icon. Democrats, from left-wing Squad members to vulnerable Democrats in battlegrounds, are all abuzz. An instant internet sensation, she can do no wrong.
