Newly obtained audio from a 2003 debate shows Kamala Harris, during her campaign for DA, faced criticism for overstating the number of cases she had tried as a prosecutor
She went up against Sanchez, a 10 term Dem Representative. Harris was picked by the Dem party leaders. In California, you don't get a choice. Once the Dem party leaders pick and start endorsing.. it's just down ballot Dems.
Harris never trailed in polls or fundraising and was the consensus pick of the Democratic establishment. She was endorsed by President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Gov. Jerry Brown, Boxer and her soon-to-be Senate colleague from California — Dianne Feinstein.
