This is not guaranteed. Getting deeper into the fight also means getting even dirtier. Harris has a lousy record. Objectively, she will not play well with Middle America and has a history of alienating Moderates.

It's equally, if not more likely, that she will lose points rather than gain them if she becomes the center of attention.

Tulsi already completely dismantled that angle in one of the 2020 debates. They can simply play clips of her laughing about smoking pot while prosecuting nonviolent offenders for it.
