The least electable candidate that Democrats could present against Donald Trump this autumn, according to a group of New York Times journalists, is Vice President and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
Following the announcement by President Joe Biden that he would not seek a second term in the White House on Sunday, the Times recruited eight writers and columnists to evaluate ten potential candidates based on their electability and excitement value.
In the latter category, she placed fifth, but she concluded in the former category, which was more significant, at the bottom.
Harris received an electability rating of 4.6 on a 10-point scale, making him one of only two candidates to have an average electability score below 5 (the other being California Governor Gavin Newsom, who received a rating of 4.9).
Despite the apprehensions regarding Harris’s electoral viability, the Democratic Party has rapidly united around her as Biden’s successor.
The majority of the party’s leaders have already endorsed her, and she has purportedly secured sufficient delegates to be designated as the presumptive nominee.
