Dan Rather on Harris going after Biden: "Did she win new fans or turn people off?"

46. Both. I don't think the older African Americans who lived through the time period will be impressed.

Younger people might well be.

I saw her interview with Tweety (MSNBC) and she was dramatically pulling back and actually defending Biden and his long record of public service. This tells me she knows she went TOO far.

I love Kamala, but I am still reeling from that episode. It may have been cathartic for her, but it came off as cringe-worthy for most of the rest of us--particularly since the emotion of the situation made it very difficult to follow what it is she was actually alleging. It probably will give Biden some sympathy vote for that reason. It may well lose her support for the same reason.

Those who KNOW (and Kamala clearly admitted in the post-debate interview) that Biden is NOT racist at all will be at best uncomfortable about this episode and at worse view it as a contrived ambush. Kamala's performance was otherwise flawless and I think this may not be as helpful as some might think.
