Although they do say "lacking charisma" etc. but no, I think "likable" is definitely a trope that needs to be retired.

Is Angela Merkel "likable"? does anyone even ask the question? We're not looking to date Kamala, we're looking for someone to lead the country.

Those who don't like her would not "like" any woman unless perhaps it was a Republican woman.
