Senator Harris has been in my top 5 from the moment she declared.

From a numerical standpoint, I initially thought her position as a Senator from California, and Beto’s position as having narrowly lost to Ted Cruz in TX would have put the both of them into a great position going into Super Tuesday. Clearly my crystal ball isn’t working, but both remain in my top five.

… [Harris] consistently polls among the top five candidates in the jumbled Democratic field, and she has the financial resources to remain viable. Her campaign raised $11.6 million in the quarter ending Sept. 30–a respectable haul, although far short of what some other front runners pulled in. As more long-shot candidates bow out of the race, campaign officials expect Harris to benefit from voters’ renewed focus. With a little luck, they say, she still has a fairly clear path to the nomination.

I personally depend upon her to rip various Trump appointees and nominees a new orifice and she hasn’t disappointed on that score.

“This guy [Trump] has completely trampled on the rule of law, avoided consequence and accountability under law,” she says of the President. “For all the sh-t people give me for being a prosecutor, listen. I believe there should be accountability and consequence.”

^{(my emphasis)}

Amen, sister.

On a clear early-fall day, more than 100 people have come to hear Harris speak in a pub in Coralville. “I like Biden, but I want someone new,” says 71-year-old Jane Carlson, a retired university worker. “I don’t want yesterday. I want tomorrow.”
