I don't think it's inherently sexist to call Harris "Kamala." I get that some fans will feel she's familiar, just like there exist fans of Biden who jovially call him “Joe” or fans of Obama who call him "Barack." But, in general, I think it's unduly familiar, *especially* coming from media outlets.
