Democrats are excited about Harris and as of this writing she's raised 100 million dollars since Biden announced he was dropping out and throwing his support behind her.

"Republicans, I worry, vastly underestimate Kamala Harris. They don't think very highly of her. They don't think she's terribly bright. When you or I bring up Kamala Harris' name in Republican circles, people laugh. It's immediately a punchline," Cruz said Monday on his podcast "Verdict with Ted Cruz."
Cruz warned against Republicans preemptively celebrating a Trump-Vance win months out from the election, arguing Democrats and the media will promote Harris as an "historic" candidate.

Funny you didn't mention it before.
Didn't I link to the NABJ interview?
Is it noteworthy that she gave a good interview showing discipline and calm and control while answering questions with thoughtful responses? The contrast of her interview versus Trump's interview for the same group is striking isn't it? Trump sputtered and rambled in angry word salad and Harris answered questions using humor and empathy and critical thinking.

By "thoughtfully" do you mean talking about nothing while trying to think of something of substance to say?

That projection isn't going to work. That's Trump's problem. He thinks tariffs are the answer to working parent's childcare troubles and that energy is the answer to grocery costs. Maybe all of that crazy word salad, peppered with concepts of plans, makes more sense if the audience shares in Trump's delusional thinking. That must be it.
The signatories of a letter endorsing the Democratic vice president included former members of Congress, defense secretaries, C.I.A. directors and other national security officials.
In a letter to the public, the Republicans, including both vocal longtime Trump opponents and others who had not endorsed Joseph R. Biden Jr. in 2020, argued that while they might "disagree with Kamala Harris" on many issues, Mr. Trump had demonstrated "dangerous qualities.” Those include, they said, "unusual affinity" for dictators like President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and "contempt for the norms of decent, ethical and lawful behavior.”
"As president,” the letter said, "he promoted daily chaos in government, praised our enemies and undermined our allies, politicized the military and disparaged our veterans, prioritized his personal interest above American interests and betrayed our values, democracy and this country's founding documents.”
I think the economy and the Middle East are dragging him down. But inflation is cooling down and Democrats approve of him dropping out perhaps some are looking at him with a softer spot.
He's not so close to Trump at this point, but similar to G.W.Bush who was also subpar. Clinton, Bush Sr. and Raegan were much higher than Trump and Biden at this point.
