Abstract
As Kamala Harris seeks to become the first career prosecutor to win the presidency, she has faced persistent questions: What kind of prosecutor was she? And how would that background shape her presidency? Instead of fitting into the familiar categories, she has been campaigning as another first: the first white-collar-crime prosecutor in chief. Instead of policies to reverse mass incarceration, the signature objective of progressive prosecutors, her approach seems to be for more equal incarceration, a new twist on an old populist economic theme.
