Axios AM: "Kamala Harris has established herself as a frontrunner."

Jimmy Kimmel: "It was 'Joe Versus the Volcano.'"

Sen. Kamala Harris of California has established herself as a frontrunner, Axios' Alexi McCammond reports from the debate site:

She did that by attacking Biden in the first debate, which led to attacks on her from every side of the stage last night.

That meant more scrutiny of her record, but she was calm and ready for the attacks.

No matter what anyone said, Harris turned the fire back on Biden, Axios' Alayna Treene adds.

Unlike the previous night, when Warren and Bernie Sanders refused to take the bait from the moderators to go after each other, Harris and Biden went in on each other — criticizing the other's health care plan — right out of the gate.

A frontrunner. One of several.

Not 'the frontrunner'.

3. She should have turned the fire back on Gabbard, too.

She did that by attacking Biden in the first debate, which led to attacks on her from every side of the stage last night.

That meant more scrutiny of her record, but she was calm and ready for the attacks.


She had months to prepare so I am surprised that she allowed Gabbard, of all people, to get away with attacking her.

4. In almost all polls she comes in 4th of the top 4 candidates. And that's after her attack on Biden

in their first debate, which got her so much attention.

As I pointed out in another topic, in almost all polls, Biden has as much support as Sanders and Warren combined, and Harris is usually trailing them by a few points.

With black voters, she consistently gets only a small fraction of the support Biden gets, and her attack on him didn't change that. (But she does get more support from black voters than Cory Booker, who's consistently had single digit support from them in the polls I remember.)
