has given a jolt to Democrats who questioned his fitness for a second term. Her candidacy has even invited comparisons to the history-making run of Barack Obama, the nation’s first black president.
Harris would be the first black female president if elected in November and has revived the gender-focused messaging of Clinton, who ran under the slogan “I’m with her.”President” at a Philadelphia rally Tuesday evening debuting Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, a message Gov. Josh Shapiro echoed in a speech introducing her to the stage.
But the moment also has political ramifications. Democrats have made abortion access the centerpiece of their election pitch while painting the Republican ticket as hostile to women. They’ve pilloried Sen. J.D. Vance , Trump’s running mate, for mocking single women as “childless cat ladies.” A federal jury’s finding that Trump is liable for the sexual abuse of writer E. Jean Carroll has also been incorporated into Harris’s standard stump speech.
“I think she has energized a whole other group of people who were going to probably vote but they weren’t really excited,” Sharonda Huffman, a Baltimore County, Maryland, Democrat and DNC delegate, said of Harris’s candidacy. “You can see that by how many people have registered to vote, how many people have signed up to volunteer, how many different Zooms we’ve had, and I was on the first Zoom.
“When men and women are not forming families together, they tend to see their interests as more separate and more oppositional than when they are in families together,” she continued.
If Harris is elected president in November, it will be the latest inroad women have made in the world of politics. The 118th Congress saw the highest number of women, with Sen. Patty Murray becoming the first woman to be Senate president pro tempore in 2023.
