Kamala Harris’ identity may be the fulcrum on which the 2024 presidential election turns.
From its opening moments, Vice President Kamala Harris’ acceptance speech made clear that no issue will shape the 2024 presidential election so much as voter attitudes toward America’s rapidly changing face. In the nine years since he plunged into electoral politics, former President Trump has embraced nativism and made suspicion of immigrants central to his political brand. He has made a call for “mass deportations” a key element of the current campaign.
By contrast, immigrants made up fewer than 5% of Americans when Trump was coming of age in the late 1960s and early 1970s. That sharp increase in the immigrant population has come amid other profound changes in American society, many of which the convention showcased, with a line-up of Black, Latino and LGBTQ political figures appearing in prime time. Friends and relatives extolled Harris’ blended household, holding it up as an exemplar of modern families.
