Is America prepared to choose a female Black candidate for president? Vice President Kamala Harris is betting that it is, and she will formally be confirmed as the Democratic nominee for US president in Chicago next week.
During her 2019 primary campaign against Joe Biden, the Democrat said, “In my entire career, I’ve heard people say when I ran… people aren’t ready, it’s not your time, nobody like you has done that before.
I haven’t listened, and I think that kind of talk is inappropriate for anyone to hear.” However, Harris’s campaign fizzled out, and she dropped out of the primary before Biden chose her as his running mate.
If Harris, 59, defeats Trump in November, she will go down in history as the first Black woman to lead the world’s most powerful country and the first woman overall, after Barack Obama. Harris is already blazing a trail in a lot of ways. She was the first woman elected to the position of attorney general in California history and the first Asian and African American to do so as well. She was born to a Jamaican father and an Indian mother. Then, she became the first vice president in US history in those same categories.
