Fine with me. Her favorabity is higher then Trump or Biden. So I think your asking a loaded question.

And more I’m sure but she was off my list of potential candidates based on any of these alone
I like her well enough. Would love another love affair like the obamas but that might be once in a lifetime kind of thing.
Her last name literally means "horrible" in Finnish and from what I've heard that's somewhat accurate
The last four Vice Presidents have been strong enough to be seen as decent contributors to their administrations; Cheney and Biden have both been at the forefront in representing the Executive Branch in sensitive negotiations.
Harris hasn't seemed to be tapped by this administration to perform the same role. Worse, it feels like this administration has intentionally pulled Harris back while putting Buttigieg in roles that would otherwise go to Harris.
Her position will get her attacked, but it feels like she isn't being defended by the Biden Administration for reasons.
For me, it's this:
[Harris] fought for this law, which raised the financial penalty and made it a criminal misdemeanor for parents, up to a year in jail, when their children missed at least 10 percent of school time.
She is a strong black woman. That is reason enough for people. They will come up with other reasons, just like Hillary. You will hear a lot of “I will vote for a woman. Just not that woman.” Or, “I just don’t like her.” It’s all bullshit. They don’t want to promote a woman.
For those of you who will inevitably downvote me, just ask yourself, do you hate/distrust/dislike Kamala just like you hate/distrust/dislike Hillary? Hmmmmm
Yep, they’re here in the comments calling her a cop and a neoliberal. The bar a woman has to clear (and a Black woman at that) to be taken seriously is insane.

“I would vote for a woman. Just not that woman.”
I've been hearing that song for decades now. By a sheer coincidence, that woman somehow always happens to be the woman with the best shot of running for president on a Democratic ticket.
She does not have a shot at running for president lmao.
