Kamala Harris clearly has had lofty ambitions for years as she moved from San Francisco district attorney to California attorney general to our state's junior U.S. senator.
As Joe Biden looks like yesterday's news, Harris now is among those candidates with a genuine shot for the nomination.
Donald Trump might have an otherworldly sense of reality, but Harris is pitching a carefully constructed narrative that seems to be at odds with the record.
