Kamala Harris made a name for herself as a no-nonsense prosecutor in Oakland, Calif., and it didn’t take her long to develop the same reputation in Washington. As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, she has put tough questions to President Trump’s nominees and Cabinet officials, producing viral moments and raising her national profile. Her long career in law enforcement — first as San Francisco district attorney and later as California attorney general — is both her greatest strength and her main vulnerability. To her defenders, Harris was a progressive force for change, an opponent of the death penalty, and a supporter of racial bias training for police and re-entry programs for felons. To her liberal critics, she didn’t do enough to reduce prison overcrowding, investigate fatal police shootings or review wrongful convictions. Harris, who would become the first woman to be elected president, will be forced to defend her record and more clearly define her political identity.
