Ben Smith recently interviewed Kamala Harris for a profile piece in today's Politico. In the lengthy article, she discusses the comparisons to President Obama and the lofty aspirations that many Democrats have for her.
“It’s flattering, these comparisons make me uncomfortable because I know what I want to do. I am really excited about being attorney general.”
She also talked about some of the goals she has as California's attorney general and her desire that the country have a open and honest conversation about the criminal justice system.
“Most elected [officials] will not visit that debate upon themselves if they don’t have to. It is a prickly subject,” said Harris. “Generally speaking, the public appetite for criminal justice policy is just tough talk.”
