Kamala Harris: The Woman to Watch in 2024
It's official: Kamala Harris is running for president in 2024, and she's got the endorsements to back her up.
A Woman's Place is in the White House
Vice President Kamala Harris is stepping up to the plate, and it's about damn time. In the wake of President Biden's withdrawal, the stage is set for a historic race, and Harris is poised to shatter the ultimate glass ceiling.
Make no mistake, this is a transformative moment in American politics. Harris is now the Democratic front-runner, and with good reason. She's a seasoned leader with a track record of breaking barriers, and her candidacy sends a powerful message of inclusion and progress.
Look Out, Trump. She's Got This.
Recent polls show Harris trending slightly above Biden, and while she's still got ground to make up against Trump, the race just got a whole lot closer.
Poll | Biden | Trump | Harris | Trump |
CBS News/YouGov | 47% | 52% | 48% | 51% |
NBC News | 43% | 45% | 45% | 47% |
Fox News | 48% | 49% | 48% | 49% |
NPR/PBS | 50% | 48% | 50% | 49% |
The Steps to Shattering that Glass Ceiling
- Announcement: Harris is all in, announcing her candidacy on Sunday.
- Endorsements and Delegates: Key endorsements are already rolling in, with heavy hitters like the Clintons throwing their weight behind Harris.
- Democratic National Convention: It's all about the delegates, and if Harris secures the majority, she's the official nominee.
- General Election: Harris takes on Trump and co. in the general, and we finally get a female president-elect.
- Electoral College: Harris needs to seal the deal with a majority of electoral votes.
- Inauguration: Mark your calendars: January 20, 2025. Madam President takes office.
It's a Crowded Field, But Harris Stands Out
With six candidates still in the race, the competition is stiff. But Harris has what it takes:
- Kamala Harris, Democratic Party: Our girl. Slay, Queen.
- Donald Trump, Republican Party: Oh, him again. Can't we just Get Rid of him already?
- Jill Stein, Green Party: Okay, Boomer.
- Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Independent Democratic Party: Another Kennedy? We're listening.
- Cornel West, Unaffiliated: West is Best? Maybe not this time.
- Chase Oliver, Libertarian Party: Libertarians, eye roll.
Don't forget about Marianne Williamson, the Democrat still technically in the running. But with zero delegates, it's a no from us.
Bottom Line:
Get ready for a wild ride, folks. Harris has the momentum and the support, and 2024 might just be the year we smash that patriarchy for good. #MadamPresident #Kamala2024 #YesSheCan
