A FEW MONTHS AGO, the United States of America was in free fall. No one knew which way the election was headed, record numbers of people were losing their jobs, homelessness was worsening, COVID cases were spiking, and winter lockdowns loomed.
A FEW WEEKS before our interview, on November 2, I followed Harris around the state of Pennsylvania. In the city of Bethlehem, sunken into the green-lit farmland of the Lehigh Valley, Harris was holding a drive-up rally to ignite a furiously long day of campaigning. Pennsylvania was a key swing state that had gone Trump’s way in 2016.
Science will matter, too, in helping the country mitigate future disasters. Harris’s mother was a scientist who took Kamala and her younger sister to the lab on weekends and after work when they were growing up in Berkeley, California. Harris sees science as the only way to hold on to the country’s infrastructure through climate change. “You look at that tunnel between New Jersey and New York; if there is another Hurricane Sandy, it’ll probably be wiped out,” Harris says.
Harris’s parents, Gopalan and Donald Harris, a Jamaican-born professor emeritus of economics at Stanford, met as young graduate students in the civil rights movement at the University of California, Berkeley. Harris describes a childhood surrounded by her politically active aunties and uncles: “I always joke about being in a stroller at that moment,” she says.
During the pandemic, as is usually the way in American history, Black women working low-wage service jobs have suffered the most—from the lack of economic relief that would allow them to stay home during lockdowns, to the absence of affordable health and child care. Black women also have the highest levels of student debt of any group, which Biden and Harris do not plan to cancel .
KamalaHarris voguemagazine alexis_ok They already said they are pro trans, which is anti women’s rights. This is not healing. Anyone that says a born man can self ID as a woman is a danger to the world, & going against the Geneva convention. They insult us by going along with a mentally insane delusion.
