As questions about Biden mount, Kamala Harris sports better polls, more appearances, puff pieces

Vice President Kamala Harris has seen her role and momentum increase as questions about President Biden mount in the aftermath of his poor debate performance last week.

The negativity surrounding Harris even garnered calls for the vice president to step away from the campaign as recently as March, and one Washington Post column called on Harris to "step aside" for "the country’s sake."

Now, some have speculated Harris could take over at the top of the ticket after Biden’s debate performance. The vice president’s visibility already started to increase before last week.
