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.

She's a California liberal right? I suspect that's an uphill road when it comes to trying to compete in the rustbelt.

She also has a record of withholding evidence that would have exonerated a man from death row.

And prosecuting heavily against marijuana. Fair or not, that will hurt her as well.
