Rep. Madeleine Dean notes the debate will be many viewers' introduction to Harris
Rep. Madeleine Dean, a Democrat who represents Pennsylvania's 4th District in the Philadelphia suburbs, said today's debate is an opportunity for Harris to introduce herself to swing voters outside the political "bubble" who may not have tuned into the campaign earlier, and share her record as a prosecutor, attorney general, senator and now vice president.
"She is an able public servant, and so she has the chance to introduce that part of herself to those who are too busy to actually know all of those granular details," Dean told reporters in the spin room.
