Kamala Harris, a former prosecutor, is now the Democratic nominee against Donald Trump, who has been convicted of 34 felonies. Democrats believe Harris's prosecutorial skills will give her an advantage in the presidential race.

Key Points

  • Harris' background as a prosecutor could be a valuable asset in calling attention to Trump's legal problems.
  • Democrats see Harris as someone who has put criminals behind bars, contrasting with Trump's felony convictions.
  • Harris' prosecutorial experience may help Democrats counter the GOP's 'law and order' argument.

Pros

  • Harris' prosecutorial skills may give her an advantage in a head-to-head contest with Trump.
  • Democrats believe Harris can turn the age issue against Trump, who is the oldest presidential nominee in history.
