21. So far this is the dynamic

I tend to agree with this assessment.

Through no fault of her own, Hillary was a fragile public figure because of decades of republicans losing their minds over her. All of their screeching about her, the "middle" thought something had to be wrong with her, and the mindset that she was "unlikeable" because Rs hated her so much took on a larger than life size.

As someone else noted, with such a short cycle for Kamala, hopefully there is not enough time for them to turn it to shit for her, like they did with Hill and Joe over the last four years.

One other point about Kamala, she has a light air to her, she smiles easy and comes off as laid back. That hopefully warms her to the "middle" types.
