She raised her hand in favor in the 2020 primary, she’ll never be able to undo that

She's since capitulated to the health insurance leech industry, though:

Harris, who has had shifting stances on health care in the past, confirmed in late July through her campaign that she no longer supports a single-payer health care system.

a lot can change in 4 years. did anybody really see democrats running for labor issues before biden took office? they're campaigning at union events. that was unthinkable just a couple of cycles ago.

universal healthcare is insanely popular. they could get there. remember that picking a president is also about picking who you want to fight against. it's certainly more likely for Harris to listen to public opinion than it is for The Blob.

It doesn’t matter what she has done or said since. That was her loudest moment on the issue before this campaign and it’s what most Americans remember. Undoing that statement is basically impossible. Especially for anybody who is already skeptical of her.

Of course she can. Politicians change their minds all the time.
