In all, Harris spent more than a quarter-century as a local and state prosecutor（検事）, and she compiled（蓄積した） an accomplished record — on crime reduction（削減）, consumer protection and more. Prosecutors succeed by making more persuasive（説得力のある） arguments than their opponents（相手）in a combative setting（闘争的な場）. So it makes sense that （～は理にかなっている）Harris’s signature （特徴を表す）moments as a national figure （人物）have occurred in similar settings.
In the Senate, she developed （広げた）a reputation as a sharp questioner of witnesses, including Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominees. During the 2020 presidential campaign, she won her debate against Vice President Mike Pence, polls showed. Four years earlier, by contrast, Pence beat Tim Kaine, Hillary Clinton’s running mate.
In a future debate against Trump, Harris seems like a much stronger option than Biden — and probably stronger than some other potential Democratic nominees. It’s easy to imagine her hammering （激しく攻撃する）Trump for his role in the overturning of Roe v. Wade and his lawless approach to the presidency.
These criticisms could then become central to a presidential campaign that she ran largely against Trump. Biden had hoped to run such a campaign, as my colleague Reid Epstein points out, but Biden’s jarringly （不快なほど）weak debate performance has made that much harder.
