"Scientific" American - Harris is good for "science" because.

- Her mother was a cancer researcher:
Health and science have been a part of Harris’s life since an early age: her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, who Harris cites as a major influence, was a leading breast-cancer researcher who died of cancer.
My grandfathers and my great-grandfather were in the military. That makes me a veteran, I guess.
- She promoted diversity in STEM
Harris co-sponsored efforts to improve the diversity of the science, technology, engineering and medicine (STEM) workforce. She introduced legislation to aid students from underrepresented populations to obtain jobs and work experience in STEM fields. And as a candidate in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, she proposed a plan to invest $60 billion to fund historically Black universities and bolster Black-owned businesses.
- Drug pricing
The Biden-Harris administration has also made drug pricing a key priority by creating a cap for the price of insulin and by endorsing the use of ‘march-in rights’, in which the government could intervene to set the price of innovations created using public funds.
- Abortion
Harris has been more vocal than Biden on abortion rights. Last December, she launched a nationwide reproductive freedoms tour, in which she became the first US vice-president to ever visit an abortion provider.

No. I know that the Left rigs elections any way they can, including a tidal wave of positive press for their candidate, even from sources like this, that most people would believe to be apolitical.

She encouraged people who have no interest in science to seek employment in the sciences.
Brilliant.

No. I know that the Left rigs elections any way they can, including a tidal wave of positive press for their candidate, even from sources like this, that most people would believe to be apolitical.

OK, weird that you equate "tidal wave of positive press" with "election rigging."
What would you like to see done about it? You want more government regulations interfering with how the press and private publishers do their business?
You want the Republicans to get better at "election rigging" too? -
