Considered Joe Biden’s heir in the race for the White House, Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States, has more than one ace up her sleeve. What will it take to win against Donald Trump?
For nearly four years, she worked in the background. Kamala Harris was the first black woman to become vice president of the United States. Today, she is in the running to be a candidate for the White House, a symbol of the American dream. “She was part of all this incredible work”rejoices a voter satisfied with Joe Biden’s mandate. Faced with Donald Trump, her youth is an asset: she is 59 years old, he is 78.
Born in Oakland, California, to a Jamaican father who was a professor of economics and an Indian mother who was a researcher and breast cancer specialist, Kamala Harris has her origins on her side, which are a strong point in capturing the vote of communities.
But she also multiplied the misunderstandings and blunders on the sensitive issue of immigration that Joe Biden had entrusted to her. Particularly during her visits to the American border with Mexico. “The Republicans will see his weak point there.”believes geopolitical scientist Pascal Boniface. Also in Kamala Harris’ game, a major asset of this campaign: that of women’s rights.
