Five looming challenges for Vice President Harris

Vice President Harris has enjoyed a remarkable surge of political energy since President Biden stepped aside from his reelection bid a little more than a month ago.

Harris quickly tightened her grip on the presidential nomination, surfed a wave of Democratic enthusiasm and benefitted from a massive fundraising infusion.

More recently, Harris’s selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) has been well-received while last week’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago acted as a strong showcase for her candidacy.
