The Kamala Comeback

A candid conversation with Vice President Harris as she reclaims the campaign spotlight alongside Joe Biden and fights to change the narrative surrounding her own place in the White House.

Kamala Harris was loose and punchy when I caught up with her last Friday afternoon in Phoenix. Maybe it’s because a fiery President Biden surpassed expectations in the previous night’s State of the Union address, temporarily calming Democratic fears about his age and re-elections chances. Maybe it’s because Harris was also on the way home to Los Angeles for the weekend. Or maybe—as my partner Matt Belloni reported—she was hyped to hit a schmoozy Oscars pre-party on Saturday at the house of CAA C.E.O. Bryan Lourd, where she was fawned over by J.J. Abrams and Barry Diller.
