LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Harris deserves a fair shake

I disagree with the idea that Vice President Kamala Harris would likely be worse than President Joe Biden.

Granted, her polling numbers are worse, and she dropped out of the presidential race before the first primary contest in 2020, but voters can’t say with certitude that she’s worse — unless and until time and opportunity provide evidence.

Biden got a second chance from the party and the American voters — his political career as a senator and vice president was lackluster at best. His age likely makes a one-term presidency his last hurrah.

Harris has a long political career ahead and deserves the opportunity, if she’s elected or ascends to the presidency, to perform and be judged on her knowledge, skills, abilities and demeanor as a president.
