Her problem is that she's a mixed race woman.Kamala's problem on a national level has always been she doesn't have base of supporters to defend her. Progressives don't fukk with her and think she's not progressive enough, moderates don't really care about her, the right obviously hates her, and black people don't trust her and think she panders to black people to get ahead.
She has a great resume of accomplishments, she knows the institutions from local to the national level, she has a progressive voting record as a senator, and she respects the rule of law.
On paper she seems ideal if you looked at her record over the last 10 years.
