Kamala posted her official announcement that she's running for POTUS across all her social media accounts this AM, then made her first network tv announcement on "Good Morning America" with Robin Roberts & George Stephanopoulos (above). Strategic indeed.Harris' announcement comes following months of speculation. She's a rising star in the party who was elected California's junior senator in 2016 after two terms as the state's attorney general. Yup, she was the top cop, but maintained she can be both pro-progressive reform and do her job as a prosecutor.
Kamala's run also sets her up to possibly become the first woman and woman of color to sit in the Oval Office. This marks 47 years to the week that Shirley Chisholm, the first black candidate for a major party's Presidential nomination and the first woman to vie for the Democratic nomination, announced her Presidential run as well. Kamala's logo actually has a salute to Chisholm. The powerful, take-no-sh*t, 54-year-old former prosecutor def has the boxy & brilliance to run for the highest office, and some would even say the clout. But can she get the masses behind her?
Some folks are already going the Hillary route and assuming/claiming she's not "for us." The reasons are very subjective, as it depends on what you feel is the role of a prosecutor. Some feel she disproportionately put people of color in jail in her state's attorney general office position. Others feel the numbers aren't disproportionate, and her hard lines abided by were for the greater good of curing big issues like high school dropout rates, drugs, etc.
