I don't know about anyone else but it's disturbing to me that so many reporters/pundints...

seem so amazed at VP Harris' "growth" in how she handles herself on the campaign trail now from a few years ago. This of course coming from commentators who have hardly covered her in her years as Veep...so how would they know that she's "grown"?

And not to mention of course that her many years of serving as a state prosecutor, then the San Francisco DA, California state Attorney General, United State Senator and finally Vice President gained her several years of "experience" so IMO there was no surprising growth. She's just been pserforming her various jobs well and when Joe Beden did his tremendous, patriotic, selfless and statesman-like act of stepping down and turning the race for president over to VP Harris, she was ready and well prepared for it.

IMO she's exhibiting her many years of experience gained, and sone surprisingly see it as amazing growth.

Anyone who saw how deftly she handled trump in the recent debate should be pleased, not surprised.
