Rather than serving as a foundation for Kamala Harris’ presidential bid, California is exposing the cracks in her troubled campaign.
But part of the explanation is California itself.
The 42-year-old computer programmer likes the senator and may even have voted for her in 2016, when she was elected, and twice before that when she ran for state attorney general. He can’t recall, he said during a cigarette break in the city’s Financial District. But when it comes to the presidential contest, Mortensen is leaning toward Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
Beiser, who was grabbing coffee in Silver Lake, is leaning toward Warren because “she’s been speaking up for a long time on the most important things” — healthcare, education and what Beiser called excessive corporate power. He also likes the fact Warren is a former Republican, which Beiser suggested might help lure some crossover voters to her side.and in key states mirror her feeble California showing. The first presidential votes won’t be cast for several more months, starting in Iowa on Feb.
Grabbing the public’s attention is tough. Californians tend to be more attuned to Washington than Sacramento, especially on issues that don’t involve the governor, and many rely more on national media than local news coverage, which stints on political coverage — especially on TV. Surveys, including a poll released this week by the Public Policy Institute of California, have shown nearly a quarter of California voters have no opinion of Harris’ job performance, suggesting after more than two years they do not know enough to form an opinion. The PPIC poll also showed Warren, Biden and Sanders bunched closely together at the top of the presidential field, with Harris trailing far behind with 8% support and Buttigieg at 6%.
