Effective or not?

I notice that many here are referring to Kamala Harris as a brainless twit or similar


well, this is a pretty hefty goal on the scoreboard


“As California Attorney General, Kamala Harris played a key role in negotiating a larger settlement for California homeowners affected by the foreclosure crisis[1][3].

Initially, the banks offered around $2-4 billion in relief for California[1][2]. Harris rejected this offer and temporarily pulled California out of the national settlement negotiations in September 2011, pushing for a better deal[3].

After tough negotiations, including a tense phone call with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon[1][2], Harris secured a commitment of up to $18 billion in relief for California homeowners[5]. This was part of a broader $25 billion national mortgage settlement with five major banks[3].

The final agreement included $12 billion in principal reductions on home loans in California, with homeowners ultimately receiving $18.4 billion in debt relief and $2 billion in other financial assistance[3][5].

Harris's negotiation tactics resulted in a significantly larger settlement for California than initially offered, increasing from around $4 billion to $18-20 billion[1][2][3].
