TBetween the two arguing, she could come out on top. Kamala Harris, the first female vice president of the United States since 2001he said in an interview with Wall Street Journal that she feels ready to serve her country “as a leader”.
While Joe Biden and his Republican rival Donald Trump are engaged in their respective primaries, the 59-year-old former lawyer seems to be back on track as possible alternativeto the re-nomination of the current President at elections next November. Biden is in fact falling in the polls (two points behind the tycoon), also due to the continuous memory lapses supported by report by Special Prosecutor Robert Hur in which he is defined as “an elderly man with a poor memory”.
The Democrats are studying a “plan B” to nominate Kamala
For Kamala Harris the possibility of being the first Afro-descendant woman to run for the White House could therefore open up: according to the site Politic, the Democrats would be working to study a “plan B” in case the 81-year-old President’s mental health conditions worsen (and an emergency replacement is therefore needed). Or him if he decided to leave the scene voluntarily, saving his honor, by getting elected to the Democratic Convention in Chicago on August 19th, and then resigned. If he were re-elected, the United States would be led until 2028 by a President over eighty.
The entrance of the vice president Kamala Harris not everyone likes him, however: in recent years his role has not convinced analysts and voters, and His popularity is currently declining even more than Biden’s, both among American citizens and in his own party.
Harris is accused of having had, as deputy, a very secondary role, and of not having been able to influence the President’s policies. His supporters instead they accuse Biden of having “used” it to gain votes in the multi-ethnic and younger electorate, and then overshadowed it once the elections were won and Donald Trump was beaten.

Moreover, the expectations on her had been very high: a law graduate from Howard University, former attorney general and senator of California, she had opened her electoral campaign in 2019 by quoting none other than Martin Luther King. Of Jamaican father and mother of Indian originsmarried to a lawyer who is already the father of two children, close to the rights of the LGBTQ+ communityKamala Harris (who could count on a millionaire income) seemed to have all the cards to balance the senior candidate Biden, strong in a “white” and moderate but too conservative electorate, in the hearts of voters.
Committed as a lawyer in the defense of minority rights, as a prosecutor she was also criticized for her positions against the decriminalization of soft drugs in California and as vice president for its ineffective migration policy.
On the occasion of his presidential run (who doesn’t remember his purple Christopher John Rogers suit for the swearing-in?), he had published the autobiography The truths that we hold: an American Journey. But in his CV there is also a book for children: Superheroes are Everywhere, superheroes are everywhere. Will she become one too?
