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.
I’ve seen her on TV before. But I didn’t know she was black before today.
Her dad is Jamaican and her mom is Indian. Her dad might be half black, I’m not sure. I keep seeing republican memes saying she’s not black or 25% black. Just endless memes trying to attack her on anything they can. Like, that’s not even important, we have a real competent candidate and that’s more than I can say about Dump.
It is weird to call her black, she’s as much Indian as she is African. It’s like the racist “1 drop” thing, where if you have any black ancestors you are defacto black, except in this case supposedly woke people are using it as a selling point
