DO have a major credibility gap.
Because they portray themselves one way, but govern in quite another once elected. The very reliable rule of thumb is that you can assume that a Lefty candidate is really more than half as Leftist as they pretend to be during election season.
If, during the election, they come across as center-Left, you can be absolutely sure that they will govern as a significantly left-of-center office holder. Just know that the reality will always be that they are far more extreme Left than they let on. ALWAYS! Even Mamdani in NYC did that to some extent!
