I wouldn't have a problem with Harris assuming the mantle, she seems competent, which the past two POTY's have struggled with. But I'm not sure the US voters would be so supportive. I'm not sure they are ready for a woman POTY let alone a first Blasian one. She was picked as VP by Biden as a shield against assassination on this basis after all.
Suspect Tricky only identified a comparison between Harris and Abbott for one reason and one reason alone which speaks volumes.

Being potentially the first woman President, let alone a Black/Asian woman, is - sadly - something that I fear will polarise Americans even more than the current far Right Republicans v far from Left wing Democrats and fuel the bigotry which Trump/Vance/MAGA supporters already thrive off.
