She introduced herself and proved she could step into the role of president if need be. She prosecuted the case against Trump and his handling of covid. She avoided 'gotcha questions' about hot-button topics and stayed on message about kitchen table issues like healthcare and jobs.

She couldn't go in to harder on Pence (who is a slick liar) due to the danger of being seen by white moderates as the 'angry black radical' that the GOP has long tried to portray her as.
