Supreme Court fight could elevate Kamala Harris' profile

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Kamala Harris is poised to become a leading figure in the Democratic opposition to President Donald Trump's Supreme Court pick, with her status as both a lawmaker and vice presidential nominee putting her in the center of the fight.The California senator is in a unique role following the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday. She's Joe Biden's running mate and a member of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee, which would hold a hearing on Trump's nominee.Since Biden selected Harris as his running mate in August, she has largely pitched the campaign's message to smaller audiences through virtual fundraisers and a handful of day trips to key states.
