She’s already broken barriers, and now Kamala Harris could soon become the first Black woman to head a major party's presidential ticket after President Joe Biden’s ended his reelection bid.
She’s already broken barriers, and now Kamala Harris could shatter several more after President Joe Biden abruptly ended his reelection bid and endorsed her.
Biden announced Sunday that he was stepping aside after a disastrous debate performance catalyzed fears that the 81-year-old was too frail for a second term.
Harris is the first woman, Black person or person of South Asian descent to serve as vice president. If she becomes the Democratic nominee and defeats Republican candidate Donald Trump in November, she would be the first woman to serve as president.
Biden said Sunday that choosing Harris as his running mate was “the best decision I’ve made” and endorsed her as his successor.
Honestly more amped up more than ever that there’s a nominee under 60. God bless Biden for everything. That old turd Trump should realize he’s too old and drop out too.
Someone asked me what I thought about Biden dropping out. I said, it doesn't matter. I am over policy, specifically NOT horrible policies like Project 2025.
I fear a Harris win. Not because I don't want her to win. But because if the likes of Trump was the conservative response to Obama... I can't fathom the horrible person they will come up with in response to Kamala.
WASHINGTON (AP) — She’s already broken barriers, and now Kamala Harris could shatter several more after President Joe Biden abruptly ended his reelection bid and endorsed her.
A recent poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about 6 in 10 Democrats believe Harris would do a good job in the top slot.
She spoke often about attending demonstrations in a stroller and growing up around adults “who spent full time marching and shouting about this thing called justice.” In first grade, she was bused to school as part of the second class to integrate Berkeley public education.
After graduating, Harris returned to the San Francisco Bay Area for law school and chose a career as a prosecutor, a move that surprised her activist family.
Months into her tenure, Harris declined to seek the death penalty for the killer of a young police officer slain in the line of duty, fraying her relationship with city cops.
In one memorable moment, she pressed now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh on whether he knew any laws that gave government the power to regulate a man’s body.

Does she support Netanyahu as unconditionally as Biden? I’ll vote for her anyway, but it would be nice if she actually took a stand against genocide. I’m probably asking too much, though.
You realize that people like you are just helping the Republicans win by pushing Democrats not to vote because "it's a lost cause anyway"? Then again, it's probably what you're wishing for.
Because dems' only chance to win is to get non voters off their asses, which she won't do. If people who regularly vote are holding their noses and voting for her to beat Trump, non voters won't turn up at all.
Nah, she's never been a contender. Unless the DNC rallies behind her and the rest of us agree, she will be a small blip on the radar as she was before being put into the VP spot
Hopefully there is potency in someone who can speak full and coherant sentences! :-D You may be right but at the very least it'll be nice to hear lucid speech again and we'll soon see if it's actually effective in the current climate! Wow the bar has been set low!?
Well this is just a silly take. Have you not watched the state of the unions during bidens presidency? He was a decent politician. That includes speeches.
There are TWO people in here not knowing something that should be known. What in the actual fuck.
Also, how old are you? I'd like to know so I can place my mental shame on whatever generation doesn't know who is eligible to be president in the US. It makes me awfully sad.
