“President Trump’s Supreme Court plans have created a major opportunity for Sen. Kamala Harris to go on offense. A confirmation fight puts Harris back in the spotlight thanks to her role on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Allies still point to her grilling Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018 (clips of which have racked up millions of views on YouTube) and they laugh at her ‘suggested … hinted … inferred?’ exchange with Attorney General William Barr in May regarding the Mueller report. These exchanges with Harris often go viral and they usually showcase a moment where she’s riffing or offering a snap reaction to the person she’s questioning.”
“Those are the electric moments that you can’t always learn during debate prep, and allies say they show that Harris is meticulous and skilled at the clapback — arguing both will serve her well in the Oct. 7 debate against VP Mike Pence. TIn many ways, some Harris allies say she’s more comfortable in the Senate Judiciary seat, grilling Trump nominees like Kavanaugh, Barr and former AG Jeff Sessions” – Axios.
