    To be fair, she is relatively unknown.

    Especially when you consider low information voters (which I expect have similar knowledge to high information voters from other countries).

    Her honeymoon period will end as soon as she sits down and does a few serious and unscripted interviews about policy, which she has managed to avoid so far. At the moment it’s pure vibes, but at some point you need to get into the business of explaining what you would do and being challenged on it. That will generate lots of attack angles and media stories, both good and bad.

      I don’t think you can say the vice president is “unknown.” Everyone has a general sense of her stances on things. It would be hard for her not to be a better unscripted speaker than Trump.

        She’ll be better unscripted but also subjected to relatively massive judgement. There’s pretty much nothing trump could say that would hurt him. There’s a lot Harris could say that would hurt her.

      I mean, she could pull a Trump and be like, “I have really big plans. I can’t discuss them until I’m in office, but let me tell you… Big plans.”
