Opinion: Obama was an avatar of hope. Harris has to be an avatar of give-’em-hell

LA Times  

Objectively, it is an amazing progression in a short window of time. In other words, Harris’ color is not nearly as important as her ability to do that job, not just to take President Biden’s place on the ticket but to take Democrats across the finish line. Trump has made fighting central to his campaign, especially after the assassination attempt, although MAGA has always been belligerent, in-your-face, sneeringly dismissive of “wokeism.” Harris, a former prosecutor, is already in battle mode. The “Black woman phone call” that happened right after Biden’s withdrawal announcement catalyzed Harris’ unprecedented groundswell of financial support. The Zoom gathering, hosted by the organization Win with Black Women, raised $1 million in an hour, harking back to the infectious racial pride of Obama’s first campaign.
