After Joe Biden’s Sunday withdrawal, Vice President Kamala Harris is vying for the Democratic nomination for November. Harris hopes to defeat Trump for a historic win. Harris’s candidacy faces sexism, racism, and a varied political background, making it a risk for the Democratic Party.
Kamala Harris heard for years that she wasn’t ready to be a presidential candidate. Democrats now hail her as their best chance to block Trump’s comeback.
The 59-year-old Democrat had support ratings as low as President Joe Biden’s, despite being the first woman, black, and South Asian vice president.
However, Harris has changed in the past year.
After Biden shocked the world by suspending his reelection bid Sunday, she’s on the brink of history with his endorsement.
She said Biden’s presidency was “unmatched in modern American history,” and Harris promised to “earn and win” the nomination.
“I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party and our nation to defeat Donald Trump,” she stated.
Harris will hope she worked hard to win her party’s support during the political crisis.
As the age of Biden faded over the previous year, his “veep” became a force on the campaign trail, campaigning for abortion rights and reaching out to suburban women and black males.
With her love of the f-bomb and her family moniker “Momala” becoming viral, she has now started to reach voters who previously ignored her.
Harris has earned party acclaim for remaining faithful to the 81-year-old president despite political vultures pursuing his candidacy.
She may face Trump, a harsh opponent who upset Hillary Clinton in 2016 to become the first female president.
