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.
At least some of use do care. While I’m voting against Trump regardless, I’d rather vote for someone. If I do talk politics, I’d rather try to sell the benefits of a candidate, rather than what a disaster another candidate would be
I’ve always argued for that. like, usually if a party is running on being against someone or some group (this goes for parties demonizing gay people or immigrants or whatever minority as well) then i assume they’re not going to do anything for me, otherwise they’d be running on that.
unfortunately in two party systems it becomes one party running against a minority and the other party running on not being as bad as the first party.
