The board applauded the presidential hopeful's "bulldog" record on crime — a sore point for her critics.
The Des Moines Register editorial board on Tuesday published a glowing review of Sen. Kamala Harris , praising the presidential hopeful as “a formidable opponent” among the eye-popping list of Democrats jockeying for the White House.
Though Harris’ supporters have praised her record on crime, which dates back to her time as a prosecutor, district attorney then state attorney in California, critics believe it’s flawed at best. Skeptics have also questioned Harris’ past handling police accountability. In 2015, she supported the use of body cameras but opposed statewide regulatory standards on the matter. Harris additionally stood against a bill requiring the attorney general to investigate police shootings.
“This is not a woman who is afraid to take on issues, and while she was sometimes light on details about how she would accomplish her goals, she has an independence not commonly seen in candidates trying to cater to everyone.”
