The Case Kamala Harris Can't Stop Prosecuting

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.
