As far as I can tell, different faces, but same old, same old… I mean, literally anyone is better than Biden at the job, considering age…
What do dems worry about her?

Mostly they’re afraid that swing voters won’t vote for a black woman, but are afraid of saying that out loud.

I, for one, hope that she can energize the campaign, get women to the polls and cancel out any negatives.
I willnlove to see her go against Trump in a debate, but I doubt “grab her by the pussy” Trump will even do one now since he knows he’d get steamroller.

I suspect that with what Republicans and the Supreme Court have been doing lately independent women will show up for her in a way they didn’t for Hillary, so at least she has that going for her, but mostly I’m just hoping she doesn’t get any real challengers within the Democratic party. That could go very, very badly, and she is not guaranteed the nomination if it happens. So far so good, but there’s still plenty of time for things to go wrong.

Not American, so please take this with a grain of salt; but from what I hear she was campaigning in 2020 and dropped out early in favor of Biden because her support in the population was miniscule. So I can imagine they are quite wary whether the perception has changed to the point of her being able to actually win the election.

To be fair, name recognition is hugely important in politics, and in 2020 nobody outside of California had heard of her.

But she has name recognition now that she’s been VP. That is a huge bonus.

I’ve seen no evidence that they are.
What little organic commentary I’ve seen has been cautiously optimistic at worst.
The barrage of anti-Harris stuff that all started appearing at essentially the same time reeks of astroturf.

We are not conflicted. We are unified! Even AOC has endorsed her.

Some don’t consider her progressive enough, some consider her too controversial (eg. non-white, non-male, former prosecutor) to win.
